Is it true that the ancestors of Native Americans migrated to the Americas from Asia?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed genomic studies state that the ancestors of present-day Native Americans entered the Americas from Siberia/East Asia via Beringia, with one 1998 news item noting a hedged alternative European link for a few ancient skeletons.
