The article is very skimpy on the details, but it is worth mentioning that this is not the first time Siberian languages have been linked to indigenous North American languages.
Na-Dene and Yeniseian languages are theorized to be part of a common family and the evidence is pretty good; they come respectively from America and Siberia. See https://www.science.org/content/article/land-bridge-connects-north-american-and-siberian-languages https://www.science.org/content/article/land-bridge-connects... for some more information.

Their success establishing residence particularly in the Pacific Northwest is remarkable. How they achieved it might never be known, but maybe some complex of technological innovations they brought enabled it.
