Mixed gender? Not sure about that. I'm a bit familiar with traditional Inuit hunting - now they make a concession using rifles. From what I understand these methods and techniques haven't changed for hundreds, if not thousands of years. No women were allowed in the hunting parties. That's why I suspect the land bridge as the only major route for migration.
