Interesting. I have speculated in the past that perhaps the American Indians also came to this land from somewhere else. But I have to be honest, I didn’t put much stock into my supposition. I thought perhaps they came from what are now Asian nations. Were there other peoples here when they arrived, still remains the question, and evidence seems to suggest that there were other peoples inhabiting the land here.
Could have been trade as well. I’ve got something else on deck, hmm, it’ll be from here somewhere:

Then there is the mundane possibility that some more recent traveller brought the tablets over to the States...
England started systematically collecting cuneiform tablets in the mid-19th century. One early collection was in 1849. The peak years of collection were between 1850 and 1920.
Chief Joseph lived from 1840 to 1904.
So it is more likely that some intrepid English explorer picked up the tablets from over there and brought a few of them to the States.
Everybody didn’t come all at once. A few here, a few there, a family, a single person. They came and spread out slowly from all directions...............
Occam’s Razor... Is it easier to accept the Summarians traveled to the US and left the tablets, or they were moved from the ME to the US during the great flood, or they were left there by the Spanish explorers and later found and passed down the line?
Chief Joseph made a great highway. The Chief Joseph Scenic Byway (Wyoming Highway 296) is a stunning 47-mile route in Wyoming, connecting Cody to the Beartooth Highway (US 212), offering panoramic mountain views, wildlife, and historical significance along the Nez Perce trail. Key highlights include the Dead Indian Pass Overlook, Sunlight Creek Bridge, and opportunities to see grizzlies, elk, and bison in Shoshone National Forest, though it’s best driven in summer/fall due to seasonal closures and hairpin turns.

They did. They came from Asia (mostly) across the ‘bering land bridge’. Mostly Paleosiberian.
With DNA advances, it is no longer as much as a guess as it used to be. The WIKI claims it grew from an initial population of 70 peoples.
Occasional visits from China, Vikings, etc. may have caused some minor additions.
They claim three main immigration waves.
