Best Answer

The first people to invade North America were the distant ancestors of the people we now call Native Americans.

Then around 1000AD the Vikings founded a few settlements, but that cannot be considered an invasion, since the settlements had little known impact on the earlier residents, ad did not last long in any case.

Then following the 1492 voyage of Christopher Columbus, Europeans began coming the North America, among other places in the Western Hemisphere, in great numbers and stayed permanent, displacing nearly all the previous residents.

The first immigrants to North America came from Asia, across the Bering Strait into Alaska (although, of course, it wasn't called Alaska at that time) something like 30,000 years ago, it's very hard to pin down the exact date. They are known by a variety of names, including aboriginal people, First Nations, or Indians. The name Indian is, of course, a misnomer, since they did not originate in India.
