Clearly D2a as awhole seems an American-only clade with some offshots in the Asian side of Beringia. Maybe it is only related to Sireniki and Aleuts (the other D2 ould be something different from D2a1 specifically), but these are still Beringian and therefore Native American populations, at least from a genetic and anthropological viewpoint.
