    According to history, the INUIT is the last migrating people that crosses the Bering Strait when the ice (bridges) connecting Asia and the Americas still exist...All the Incas, Aztecs, Mayans, American Indians and the Inuits all came from SIBERIA...So we can imagine how this immigration took place thousand of years ago in which Inuits being the last, occupying the end of the Northwest frontier, while the first immigration (Incas) end up farther south of the continent... Maybe DNA CAN PROVE THAT THEY ARE ALL RELATED TO EACH OTHER????? Very interesting theory.........

    Yes, though not directly related, they came from the same branch originating in East Asia/Siberia, however they are just the ones who remained in the northernmost regions!

    No, they're a different ethnic group that migrated to North America much later than the groups comprising what we refer to as Native Americans.
