Northern East Asian Branched Two Different Directions? China, America
Exploring Ancient Connections: Could Native Americans and Northern East Asian Ancestors Share a Common Lineage?
Www.Youtube.Com. My analogy. Could it be that long long ago, two groups of northern east Asian stock branched off into two different directions? One moving downward into China while one moved east crossing the Bering strait into today America continent? Would the nomadic people of Russia today tell us something about our relatedness? The Chukchi? The Yakut? The Sami? The Sami now look European due to their many years of contact with the European but old photos shown that they are related to the Yakut and Chukchi. Some Sami look very Mongoloid with blonde strand of hair and brown hair. Hmmm… would it be that one of the northern east Asian stock went west forming the Sami Nation? The west forming the Yupik and other Inuit that spread across Canada to Greenland (I think Iceland). The one that went down south must have form the many ethnic groups that lived during the time of Shang Dynasty and Pre-Qin Dynasty. 1. The Sami once practiced Shamanism/Animism. (Europe).
2. The Chukchi/Yukut and many Tuvan groups practice Shamanism/Animism. (Russia/Mongolia). 3. The Manchu/Korean and some Turkish groups practice Shamanism/Animism. 4. The Han Chinese once practiced a form of Shamanism called Nuo. 5. Many ethnic groups from the Miao, Dong, Qiang, Yi, almost most of China’s 56 ethnic groups practice some form of Shamanism and Animism beside Buddhist, Islam etc. 6. The Natives are predominantly Animists and practiced Shamanism. Anyways, just thought I share something I have been thinking of.

Exploring Ancient Connections: Could Native Americans and Northern East Asian Ancestors Share a Common Lineage?
The idea of shared ancestry between Native Americans and various groups from northern East Asia has fascinated many historians, anthropologists, and enthusiasts of cultural history. The hypothesis suggests that ancient peoples from the northeastern regions of Asia migrated across what was once the Bering Land Bridge, eventually settling throughout the Americas. But could it be that one branch of this northern East Asian stock traveled eastward into North America, while another went southward through China and other parts of Asia? Let’s explore some fascinating connections between these ancient peoples and how cultural elements, like shamanistic practices, might hint at a shared past.
Northern East Asian Migration Theories
Ancient migration theories propose that two groups of northern East Asians diverged thousands of years ago. One group traveled down through China and influenced numerous ethnic groups across Asia, while the other migrated east, crossing the Bering Strait into what is now North America. This journey likely contributed to the rich tapestry of cultures across both regions, yet traces of shared ancestry may still be seen in the spiritual practices and traditions that both cultures hold dear.
The nomadic peoples of Siberia, like the Chukchi and the Yakut, may hold clues about these ancient connections. Their cultural traditions bear striking similarities to some Native American tribes, especially when it comes to shamanism, animism, and respect for nature — a value central to both Siberian and Native American spirituality.
Tracing Connections Through Shamanistic Practices
One of the most compelling links between northern East Asian cultures and Native American tribes is shamanism. Shamanistic practices, which center on connecting with the spiritual world, have been integral to Siberian groups like the Yakut, Chukchi, and Tuvan for centuries. In these cultures, shamans act as intermediaries, using rituals to seek guidance, healing, and insight from the spirit world.
Interestingly, shamanism is not limited to Siberia. Many ethnic groups in northern China, including the Miao, Dong, and Yi, historically practiced forms of animism and shamanism. Additionally, remnants of shamanistic practices can be found in ancient Chinese culture, as seen in the Nuo rituals performed by the Han Chinese. This form of spirituality parallels the beliefs of Native American tribes, which emphasize harmony with nature, ancestor veneration, and the presence of spirits in all living things.
Common Threads in Northern Europe and Beyond
The Sami people of Scandinavia provide another fascinating cultural bridge. Although they appear more European today due to centuries of contact, historical records suggest that the Sami share ancestry with groups like the Yakut and Chukchi, retaining their own shamanistic traditions for much of their history. This raises the intriguing possibility that the Sami, too, may be part of a broader northern East Asian lineage that dispersed across both Europe and Asia.
While the Sami once practiced animism and shamanism, these traditions have gradually faded with European influence. However, old photographs and cultural artifacts reveal that their customs once shared many elements with those of Siberian and Native American groups, hinting at a distant connection that transcends continents.
An Ancient Connection Rooted in Spirituality and Nature
The persistence of animism and shamanism across these diverse cultures — from Native Americans and Siberian groups to the Sami and various Chinese ethnicities — suggests a shared heritage that values connection with nature and the spiritual world. It’s fascinating to consider that these ancient beliefs may reflect a lineage that dates back to a common origin, where northern East Asians and Native Americans share both blood and tradition.
Could these peoples have branched off long ago, journeying across continents to shape the varied cultures we see today? While concrete answers are elusive, the cultural parallels and shamanistic practices seen across Asia, North America, and Europe offer a tantalizing glimpse into a shared spiritual lineage. Perhaps by exploring these cultural threads, we can gain a deeper understanding of the human journey and our ancestral connections across continents and millennia.
Yes, I believe that very much. Way to many similarities as well as having a deep spiritual connection with both.
