IMPROVED ANSWER:

The first Indians came to the Americas from Asia more than 20,000 years ago. Some scientists think they arrived at least 40,000 years ago. At the time they came, huge ice sheets covered much of the northern half of the earth. As a result, much of the earth that is now under water was dry land when the Indians came from Asia. One such area was the Bering Strait, which today separates Asia and North America.

The Indians, following the animals that they hunted, wandered across this land, a distance of about 50 miles. By the time Christopher Columbus arrived, Indians were living in the New World from the Far North all the way to the southern tip of South America.

First off Indians and Mexicans alike are all from Korean. Indians came from Korea millions of years ago they were following there food which was the wholly mammoths and they crossed over during the last ice age which was over the ice bridge which came from china to Alaska and later made there own civilization. If you don't know yet Columbus founded the new world and he called the people that lived there Indians because he thought he had went to India. Mexicans are in fact Indians if you have a full blooded Indian and Mexican in front of you how would you tell them apart only by the way they talk. The only reason Mexicans have there different language is because they were cut off by there sister tribes in America. Just like the Indians had a different language than the British or French.
