The mainland that the
Polynesians came from was Asia -- or at the very east, their sailing technology came from there. and There's a marked similarity between the Canadian West Coast canoes and Polynesian canoes, for example. Well, lessee... If the Canadian West Coasties came over the Bering bridge, then it would make little difference to the Polynesian canoes if they were directly from Asia, or if they were from S America by way of Bering, since technology was slow to change in them days.

Steve "my 2 cents" Hi, Steve, If they were already sailors and fishermen, who lived by the sea, why did they need the Bering Bridge? They could have easily come by the sea skipping along the coast. The main argument in this thread is if the Canadian aborigines had a direct role to play in Polynesia. I'm arguing that the homeland of the Polynesians was Canada. All the best, Yuri.

Maybe they were upland folks who finished up beside the ocean and thought "Gee, why don't we build some boats like the folks back home had?" Makes as much sense as any of the other guesses you anthro-geeks are making. ;-) I'm arguing True... that the homeland of the Polynesians was Canada. Any similarities between Polynesian boats and the Inuit stuff? Steve |
