First Americans From an Article by "Icabod" The first people into the Americas were nomadic hunters. They didn't plan to come here, they followed the migrations of the game. There was no point where somebody said "hey, welcome to the New World" 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. The date they arrived is in dispute and keeps being pushed back. The land bridge existed between 10,000 and 25,000 yeas ago. Supposedly the way south wasn't open much before 12,000 years ago. At the same time sites in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Chile have been dated to 16,500 years ago. Current thought is that people were in Alaska at least 18-22,000 years ago and found a way south.
