Enjoy this lecture, “The Peopling of the Americas and the Dene-Yeniseian Connection” by Dr. Edward Vadja who visited, lived among and studied the very remote Ket people in far northern Russia. The Ket are ancestral to the Na-Dene and Athabaskan people in the Americas and live so remotely that not even the Russians could penetrate that region to build concentration camps. Today, there are only about 1200 Ket people in total, of which there are only about 50 Native Ket speakers left, the rest speaking Russian. They share genetics, haplogroup Q and a common ancestral language with Native American people along with other similarities.

The Kets (an ethnic group in the Yenisei River basin, Russia) are among the least studied native Siberians. Ket language lacks apparent affiliation with any major language family and is clearly distinct from surrounding Uralic, Turkic and Tungusic languages1. Moreover, until their forced settlement in 1930s, Kets were considered the last nomadic hunter-gatherers of North Asia outside the Pacific Rim2.

Dené–Yeniseian languages - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Dené–Yeniseian is a proposed language family consisting of the Yeniseian languages of central Siberia and the Na-Dené languages of northwestern North America.

Reception among experts has been somewhat favorable; thus, Dené–Yeniseian has been called "the first demonstration of a genealogical link between Old World and New World language families that meets the standards of traditional comparative-historical linguistics",[1] besides the Eskaleut languages spoken in far eastern Siberia and North America.

Here is a different way of looking at early Americans... @diane

There were always stories around this area that other people were here, stories about different groups coming from elsewhere. There was a LOT of disturbance well before Europeans arrived. There were thriving trade routes through central California that went into Mexico and, possibly, South America. I'm not all that sure European disease was a catalyst as it appears something else was going on before they arrived. Chinese and other peoples from Asia had already arrived and had not caused a pandemic. It's not hard to get a language isolate, either. The wildfires recently in Texas, New Mexico and hurricanes in Louisiana drove out people who had lived in Spanish communities for hundreds of years and spoke a language like Spanish but not understood by present day Spaniards. The Konomihu language is a Shasta isolate, but the Shasta do not understand it. That kind of isolation is why many communities of people were never known about by the new arrivals from Europe. Quite frankly...they didn't know where to look for them! They were looking for villages that they recognized as such.

Because of the extreme pushing and shoving caused by European arrival, I've always maintained that the tribes encountered during Western expansion were tribes already trying to survive, many of whom had lived originally in other places far away - the Chiricahua Apache, for example, appear to have originated in Canada and were pushed to the southwest of the US by the 1500s. While there seems to have been substantial contact from Asia, there were no colonies or permanent settlements made by them - just trade! Seems basically the same thing with the Vikings - who did not bring plague and pestilence. Why didn't disease come with them? Time frame - Europe wasn't all that healthy when the Mayflower floundered on Plymouth Rock!
