WELCOME to Camp’s DIG about the Great Migrations into North America ------- The Peopling of North America Think about this – North America once was covered with swamps and dinosaurs … no people lived here ……… and then it was covered by sheets of ice and large shaggy beasts and fierce cats and wolves …. And still no people lived here …….. How DID people get to North America and where from ? Where did they live – and hoe did they survive – once they arrived ??? LET’S FIND OUT !

DIG #6 – What migration route have we learned about today that is NOT on this map and is not on the animated map at the top of the DIG ? The reason it is not on the map is because it is such a NEW idea that it was not even believed when these maps were fairly recently made. See how knowledge changes and grows ? One discovery at a time – THAT is the life of a scientist. What now-proven ROUTE is missing from these maps ?
