most evidence seems to indicate that the first people arriving
to the north of the Americas came from the north west via what's now called Alaska.

Yes, but back then, we defined "people" as "Christian people".

Hello Bj”rn,

long before Columbus took his maiden voyage -

Somehow your history books have omitted the fact that Columbus never even set foot anywhere on mainland America. All he ever visited was a few islands that he thought was India -- now called the West Indies.

You can't blame him for trying to get back home. To China.

All we really know about him is that he was raised in Genoa -
by a couple who were most likely not his real parents. Nobody
really knows what he looked like, or even what race he was.

Moby Dick took care of those "Christian people" very well.
Especially that Captain Ahab with the wooden leg. But the Innuit
are a totally different people, and hardly Christian at all ...
