EURASIAN COMMUNITY - - Asian and Native American

Many Native Americans are frequently mistaken for Asian origin. Asian and Native American's both share characteristics, such as, fine straight black hair or semi-slanted dark eyes. Native American and Eurasian features are amazingly similar, In fact Chinese-French actress Sandrine Holt, played a Native American princess in Pocohontas The Legend (1995). Another Central Asian public icon is Siberian model Irina Pantaeva, whom is often mistake for Chinese descent. However, Irina, is a native Inuit of Russia's Siberian territory.

Back in history, (over 10,000 years ago), an ice bridge, where Alaska now is, connected Asia and North America. People from Asia walked over and spread out across the area known as the Americas, including Canada, the United States, and Central and South America. Even though American Indian/Alaska Native people originally came from Asia, they are not considered Asian because over thousands and thousands of years, they adapted into an entirely new race.

Near Mongolia, in Central Asia, Eurasian countries exist, such as Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan. In North Western China, people are highly Russian influenced. Are Native American's a mixture of Russian and Asian blood? Many Native American's have similar exogenetic features as Eurasian's, such as Native actress Kimberly Norris. Nowadays, there are few full blooded Native American citizenries, most are Métis (Part Native-Part European). Therefore, the question remains: Are Native American's Eurasian?
