Indians got here on boats. That's where the modern concensus of opinion concerning the people of the Americas is going these days.

It should not surprise anyone that they did not give up that invention!

I guess I'm still stuck in the land-bridge school of thought. Very interesting. I've read much about seaborn contact between Asiatic peoples and New World peoples as well as pre-Columbian contact between the Old World and New World. The presumption was always that the New World peoples came hwere via land migration

In The Journey of Man, Dr. Spencer Wells sticks to the land brige theory. The available DNA evidence supports his theory.

Additionally, if the Amerindians got here by sea-faring vessels, did they lose the technology over time? Welcome your thoughts.
