Here's an article from an Arizona paper which is a good summary of the current state of science. But note the tradition of the Apache, Franklin Stanley. [thanks to David H. Bailey on Eyring-L for drawing my attention to this]
Also, the article's a bit provincial and makes one mistake. The Athapaskans are also known as the Dene, and the Apache and Navajo are, along with the Tsuu Tina (Sarcee) of Calgary, mere exclaves of the main Athapaskan area, which stretches from northern Saskatchewan into the Yukon and up to Great Bear Lake and the Mackenzie Delta. Also, while the Aleuts settled only in Alaska, it's very limiting to say that the Eskimo settled in Alaska without any further comment; fact is there are far more Inuit (as we call them) in Canada and Greenland than in Alaska. The mistake he makes is about Clovis. It is no longer considered to be the oldest remains -- Monte Verde in Chile now has that distinction. And we also have remains of human (or whatever) activity in the Cardston area which date back to the very end of the last ice age. In fact the Eastern Slopes of the Rockies was an important migration route. http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/history_culture/10_11_02origins.html -- Marc A.
