"Early Native Americans are thought to have crossed into the Americas across the Beringia land bridge between 40,000 and 13,000 years ago from modern day Siberia. Certain modern Indigenous Siberians are closely related to the Indigenous peoples of the Americas, with whom they share a common origin."
I wanted to honor Indigenous Peoples Day. I have been unsure about how I wanted to do this. When looking up the word Siberian I discovered this information which I have copied and put here.
The word Iris means rainbow in Latin. In Greek mythology the goddess of the rainbow was named Iris. She traveled the rainbow bridge between heaven and earth as a messenger of the gods, the Olympians.
In human anatomy the iris is a part of the eye. It is a muscle that surrounds the dark pupil. The iris controls the amount of light that gets into our eyes. Visible light is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see. The iris within our eyes have different colors depending on our genetics.
