The first people into the Americas were nomadic hunters. They didn't plan to come here, they followed the migrations of the game. Like most people, they were interested in getting enough to eat and leaving things a bit better for their children. We don't consider them "Native Americans" as they weren't born here and they predate the development of today's Native Americans(Indians). Rather we call them "PaleoIndians."

They walked across dry land from Asia. The great ice age lowered the water of the Bering strait and created a new land, Beringia. Beringia is generally thought to have been a flat plain, dry and dusty. It did support plant and animal life.
