Aboriginal languages linked to ancient Siberian dialect

Opinion

Many First Nations may disagree with the Land Bridge theory that states all First Nations Aboriginals came from Siberia.  First Nations stance on being North Americas Founding peoples is a long held belief .  Anything contrary to this First Nations people feel will put their beliefs in jeopardy, where those whose views will compare First Nations as ancient Christopher Columbus's who like First Nations merely discovered North America instead of always being here.  First Nations feel this theory and previous post ice age theories could cause discord in their ongoing Land Claims negotiations with the Government where they fear Negotiators may use science to dispute their Founding Nations stance as original peoples of North America, just to be tossed off as  opportune explorers and settlers much like future explorers who came after them, regardless that proof remains undisputed that First Nations settled here close to 10,000 year ago in prehistory.  To me that is a claim as a founding peoples as any.
