consider the far eastern branches of the Indo European language family, and the lifestyle of the people who spoke said languages: Most of them were steppe people such as the Iranians and Tochars and thus had a wide berth to travel. Now consider the migrations of the Inuit and other Siberian people's from Siberia to North America during the early Middle Ages- what would the implications of an Indo European tribe that had somehow went far north enough and adapted for some reason, migrating along with these Inuit, Mayhaps further south to the Great Plains or in other regions? After the discovery of the concept of the Indo European language family in the nineteenth century, what strange social issues might arise in North America as a result, barring a butterfly effect. Of course, not barring said effect, what technologies could the Indo Europeans bring with them that would survive the trip? The idea of the wheel, perhaps? Certainly not domesticates, I already asked about that and it was asserted that such a thing would be impossible due to harsh travel environments.
