The first major migration of people to the new world is credited to Christopher Columbus. There were major migrations before Christopher Columbus. The Paleo-Indians were the first to make America their home. The Native Americans were not all related. The Native Americans were previously thought to all be related. DNA testing has proven that the Native Americans were two different groups of people who entered the land at the same time but independently from each other about 15,000 years before Columbus.

∙ 15y agoFrom 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. 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. When the ice melted, the land bridge disappeared, but the way south was open. The first Europeans to arrive in North America -- at least the first for whom there is solid evidence -- were Norse, traveling west from Greenland, where Erik the Red had founded a settlement around the year 985. In 1001 his son Leif is thought to have explored the northeast coast of what is now Canada and spent at least one winter there. Many European fishermen fished the waters off the northern coasts of North America and the US but did not settle there. The Spanish conquistadores explored the Southwest of what would become the US in the 1500s but did not establish permanent settlements. St. Augustine, Florida, was founded in 1565 by the Spanish. The British tried to establish a settlement in Virginia, known as Roanake, Virginia, in 1587 but the colony, known as the lost colony, did not survive. The Jamestown colony in 1607 was the first permanent British colony in North America.
