What is the name of the first people who lived in north America?

Answer 1

1.The prevailing theory at present is that people from northern Asia crossed the ice bridge that connected Asia to the Americas in the north. They migrated south and east until they reached every part of the American continents.

2. I have heard the first humans were Clovis Indians who lived 12,000 to 13,000 years ago...that means I am not positive.

The first people were from asia and they were Indians.

Answer 2

The grammatically correct version of your question is either "Who were the first people in North America?" "Who was the first person in North America?" "Or what was the first people in North America?"

To answer your question, the first people to discover North America were a group of Japanese explorers, who crossed the Bering Landbridge during the last Ice Age. They then spread in three main directions: up through Canada, becoming mainly the Inuits, Eskimos, Upiks, and Aleuts, downward to South America, becoming mainly the Incas, Aztecs, and Myans, and outward, through mid-North America, becoming notably the Plains People, Cherokees, Blackfoots, and Hipaches. Those cultures developed, isolated for many years after the ice melted and the glaciers receded, destroying the bridge between Alaska and Russia.

The first Europeans to "Discover" the Americas were a band of renegade Vikings, lead by Lief Ericson, the son of the feared Eric the Red. The Vikings colonized Greenland, but put little effort into it, since they did not find it a very good land, and also colonized Iceland, which they did like. Greenland and Iceland both received their names from a ploy constructed by the Vikings. They wanted to keep Iceland to themselves because of its warm climate, so they named it Iceland, to discourage people from visiting it. They named Greenland "Greenland" to encourage people to visit it instead, since its name implies warmth and health (although Greenland is really an icy and barren wasteland).
