Their culture, social ideas, and language were common to those of North American. Consequently, European influence pre dominated their territories situated on the North despite losing their control politically. Civilization in America began between fifteen to forty years ago. By then the northern land was occupied by huge sheets of ice, which lowered the levels of sea leading to the bridging of North America and Asia (Gellman). Nomads from Asia made the way into America as they followed wild game. The arrow point found in Clovis evidenced their emergence. Burial practices and tools had been found in several sites in South and across North America.
