Oh, most certainly. American Indians came from Asia across the "Land Bridge" (now the Bering Strait) and moved into North and South America. There were many tribes and empires founded.
The InuitThe Inuit (Än-yoo-Ät) people settled in north Canada and Alaska. They became hunters, for the ground was too cold to grow any plants. Many people in the United States call them "Eskimos." That is not their name, and they are offended by it; do not call them that.
The OlmecThe Olmec empire were the first people to settle in what is now Mexico. They lived for 1,000 years, from 1400 BC or BCE - 400 BC or BCE. They grew food in the warm climate of south Mexico. They built "colossal heads" as their statues. They might be the heads of rulers. No one knows for sure.
The AztecThe Aztec people were in the 1300's, 1400's, and 1500's. They built a capital city of Tenochtitlan (tÄ•n-och-teet-lÅn) on an island in Lake Texcoco. This city later became Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. They grew their own food, and built their world-famous step pyramids. The IncaThe Inca empire reigned from 1438-1533. This empire was literally "wedged" between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Their capital was the city of Cuzco. They were captured in 1533 by Spanish soldiers under Francisco Pizarro.These and many more American Indians lived in North and South America before Columbus arrived.
Yes they did.
Vikings
Yes.
yes
The Native Americans. They were there WAY before Columbus! There generations were passed from they Inuit's, to they Eskimo's, to the plains Indians to the American Indians or something like that! So Columbus was TECHNACALY NOT the first one in America! We need to STOP giving Columbus SO much credit! either way, hope they answer helps!
Some achievements that the Native Americans made before the arrival of Columbus were effective ways to do agriculture. They had large monuments, some still around today, that were marvels of the world.
Supposedly 1492, but Vikings made it to the region now called Canada, so they arrived before Columbus. Then again, the American Indians arrived even earlier via the Bering Strait.
The Native Americans arrived thousands of years before the first Europeans and had very evolved societies.

there were indians living there before they were enslaved by columbus
Yes, when Christopher Columbus arrived on the shores of the new world, both North and South America were inhabited by indigenous people.
No, they may have been here before Columbus but the didnt discover corn in Europe until Christopher Columbus had came and the indians planted and farmed corn.

The European way of life at that time was more focused on industrialization, technology, and hierarchy, while the Taino way of life was more communal, centered around agriculture, fishing, and spiritual beliefs. Europeans valued individualism and ownership, while Tainos had a more collective approach to land and resources sharing. This led to conflicts and misunderstandings between the two cultures when they encountered each other in the Americas.
American Indians didn't have horses, the Spanish brought them when America was discovered. However, it is possible that the Plains Indians DID already have horses, but the central American Indians didn't
Before Columbus.
Before Indians America had no human population (and perhaps it was better).
