Naukan And Chukchi ‘First American’ DNA: Hmong Oral History, Siberia
Could Hmong and Native American Lineages Share Ancient Roots?
Interesting!! An article I came across as I was doing some research. Here is a quote from the article: “Second, the Naukan and coastal Chukchi from north-eastern Siberia carry ‘First American’ DNA.” Www.Eurekalert.Org. And here is something else I came across about the Chukchi tribe. My.Opera.Com. Reason I’m posting these is because according to Hmong oral history, it is said that the Hmong people came from a land of ice and snow (which would be Siberia), also there is a story that is told about 2 brothers who were hunting and one of the brothers crossed the “ice bridge” and when he came back to cross it, it was gone. Could this be a connection? Are the dots being connected slowly?

Could Hmong and Native American Lineages Share Ancient Roots?
Hmong oral history speaks of a land of ice and snow, possibly Siberia, from which the Hmong people are said to originate. This fascinating narrative hints at an ancient connection with Native American populations, believed to have journeyed across the Bering Land Bridge from Siberia over 15,000 years ago. Researchers have discovered genetic links between northeast Siberian tribes, like the Chukchi, and Native Americans, suggesting shared heritage that might also connect to Hmong ancestry.
The Ice Bridge Tale: A Common Thread?
One prominent Hmong legend recounts two brothers who crossed an “ice bridge” during a hunting trip. One brother returned only to find the bridge had vanished, isolating him on a new land. This story intriguingly mirrors Native American migration theories, with scientists positing that the Bering Land Bridge enabled early Asian populations to migrate to the Americas. Could this Hmong tale echo the crossing made by ancestors of Native Americans?
Scientific Support for Shared Ancestry
Studies, like those published in Nature, analyzed genetic patterns in both Siberian and Native American populations, revealing three main migrations into the Americas. The initial migration, composed of “First American” DNA, forms the core of Native American ancestry. Additionally, recent evidence shows that coastal Siberian groups, like the Naukan and Chukchi, also retain First American DNA, supporting the notion that Hmong, Siberian, and Native American lineages might intersect.
A Heritage Carved in Ice and Culture
The possibility of shared ancestry and narratives invites us to explore deeper cultural ties. Both Hmong and Native American traditions emphasize nature, ancestral respect, and spiritual connections to the land — qualities that might trace back to their ancient common experiences in Siberia.
These findings invite us to celebrate not just the uniqueness of each culture but also the shared human journey across continents, ice, and time. Could more research and exploration finally connect the dots between Hmong heritage and Native American ancestry? The answer lies in our ongoing quest to uncover humanity’s ancient migrations and the common stories they inspire.
This blog post not only sparks curiosity about potential shared origins but also honors the rich oral histories of both Hmong and Native American peoples.
It sounds like it is a connection to the Bering Strait quoting “Ice Bridge”.
A Conscious Human Entity – That is exactly what I thought when I was told this story.
It is very interesting how far through history the story was apparently passed down.
It sounds to me like they were just cherry picking through the DNA and reporting on their predecieved ideas, As they clearly state that they came up with a method removing the “European and African) genomes and the like well once you remove white and black genes from the equation what else are you left with? And that doesn’t entirely prove anything did they forget that many of Chinese people’s also came to north America after Columbus and assisted with building of the railroads across the nation? How did they remove those genomes from their equations? I’m sure they didn’t as that would be impossible as then there wouldn’t be another people group to assign to them. From what I have seen from the America’s there was contact well before Columbus or Erikson and cultural ideas and that from many different people groups.
