There are two main traditional languages, which are Kala Lagaw Ya and Meriam Mir, in Torres Strait Islands. Kala Lagaw Ya spoken on the western and central Torres Strait had four dialects, but now, only two of those dialects remain which are Kala Lagaw Ya and Kala Kawaw Ya (Shnukal 1993, pp. 152, 154). People live in islands located to near Papua New Guinea, such as Boigu and Saibai, speak Kala Kawaw Ya while Kala Lagaw Ya is spoken on Babu and Mabuiag (Shnukal p. 154). Another traditional…

representatives from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community decided to litigate it in court until Mabo and others from Murray Island took initiative. Eddie Mabo 's campaign for civil rights succeeded through legislation such as the Mabo Decision, Native Title Act, and the Wik Decision. Their campaign was highly effective in the way of Aboriginal civil rights; the Mabo case and its subsequent outcomes became significant for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. The…

The Native Americans arrived in the Americas by the way of the Bering and Bridge. One of the main pieces evidences of that there are recorded footprints from Eastern Siberia and the same footprints on Beringia less than 20,000 years ago. That shows that there had to be a bridge for them to cross on because there is no way the same people went all the way around. Also, there is a bridge that is there today but is covered in water. That means when the water level was lower there was a bridge…

Northeast Asia to Alaska, however there is no land connecting the two in present day, only a strait that is fifty six miles wide at its narrowest point, and approximately 180 feet deep. However, scientists have discovered that the water levels at the time of the migration would have been significantly lower due to the large quantities of water that were trapped in the ice caps; furthermore, the bottom of the Bering Strait…

the statement “that Indians came to the Americas across the Bering Strait about thirteen thousand years ago, that they lived for the most part in small, isolated groups, and that they had so little impact on their environment that even after millennia of habitation the continents remained mostly wilderness” is little to none at all. The only valid part of that statement is that the Indians came to the Americans across the Bering Strait, however the other pieces in the statement make the Indians…

link Native populations of America to the people in Asia because many non-Indian historians and archeologists believe that the native people migrated from Asia via the Bering Strait. A man named Little Turtle came to the conclusion that Asian people must have migrated from America after looking at all of the evidence. The Bering Strait was believed to a land bridge exposed due to the Ice age of c. 75,000-800 B.C.…

invaluable to the future English explorers. 13. Vitus Bering The Danish explorer Vitus Bering is known for discovering the Bering Strait and exploring Alaska. Tsar Peter l the Great appointed his sub-lieutenant, Vitus Bering, to go on an expedition to determine if Asia and North America were connected by land. Bering concluded that they weren’t not joined together by land because he never saw the coast of North America. Later on in his life, Bering…

The first humans in America arrived trough the Bering Strait. The Bering Strait was an all-ice bridge which formed between Alaska and Siberia approximately 10,000 years ago. Scientist called those people “Native Americans”. The Native Americans developed their own living and surviving techniques according to the climate and the resources they had near them. The development of agriculture began 3,000 years B.C. in Central Mexico with the Indian corn or Maiz, and the semi-nomadic hunter societies…

did they even get here? Using sources we are going to find out. The beringian theory. The Transparency, American History: Beginnings to 1865, Holt McDougall states that the first people crossed the bering land bridge from Russia to modern day Alaska. Boats may have been used to cross bering strait after the land bridge disappeared. The people were ice age hunters who followed their food southward then throughout north america. The Maritime theory states that early humans traveled by…
