Uhm, actually, there is. For more information, go here:

The summary?
There used to be a land bridge connecting alaska and siberia. People came to the americas by crossing this bridge. Some stayed north (these became th innuits, or eskimos), and some traveled south (becoming the native americans), and some traveled WAY south, to mexico and so on.
Yeah, when you look at the traditional map, with alaska waaay over at the left, and china waaaay over at the right, it seems like it would be too far, but in actuality, they're pretty close together.

human migration to the Americas from Asia about 12,000 years ago"
