I hate to break it to you, but the Americas were not initially populated from Asia. Evidence points to Europe as the source, specifically coastal France (the Solutrean hypothesis). The oldest archaeological sites get progressively younger as you move northwest towards Alaska. The oldest sites are along the NA east coast.
Also, a good portion (perhaps most) of the older sites are now underwater, along both coast lines...
