When the native americans crossed the bering strait what were they following???

They crossed the Bering Strait 13,000 years ago. The second part of the question I do not know.

the government paid religious orders to provide basic education to native american children on reservations. in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the bureau of indian affairs (bia) founded additional boarding schools based on the assimilation model of the off-reservation carlisle indian industrial school.
