It would have been important for the English colonists to reach Roanoke Island in time to plant crops to ensure they had enough food to sustain themselves. Planting crops early would have allowed the colonists to establish a food source before winter set in, preventing starvation and increasing their chances of survival. Additionally, timely planting would have provided a sense of self-sufficiency and independence for the colonists in their new settlement.
Well, Powhatan probably had most or all of the men killed, but the women, I should think, were probably kept as wives. John Smith reported that Powhatan told him he had ordered the Roanoke colonists killed after he heard they had sought shelter with one of the tribes he ruled. I think it more probable that this was a lie. Powhatan likely did not trust the English to leave whatever remained of the Roanoke colonists to live with the natives with whom presumably there had been marriages and children. The English would surely have felt compelled to "rescue" their fellow countrymen, ripping families apart in the process. There are reports of Native Americans in the Chesapeake area in the 1700s with gray eyes who claimed white ancestors. This would seem to indicate that they may have been descendants of those settlers of the Roanoke colony who survived.
Leif Erikson is believed to have been involved in exploration during the late 10th and early 11th centuries, around 1000 AD. He is credited with being one of the first known Europeans to have reached North America, specifically Newfoundland, making him an important figure in Norse exploration.
When Spanish explorers reached Quivira, they found a Native American settlement or pueblo. It was said to be a prosperous and advanced society, with houses made of grass and vibrant agricultural practices. The Spanish were also intrigued by the vast herds of bison that roamed the area.
Early humans likely reached North America by crossing the Bering Land Bridge during the last Ice Age. They may have traveled to South America by following the coastline or through inland routes. Antarctica was likely reached much later, potentially by seafaring populations navigating through the waters surrounding the continent.
The first European contact with native populations in the Americas is typically considered to have occurred in 1492 when Christopher Columbus reached the Caribbean islands.

Exact date is unknown however, it is believed that the English language reached North America when European Exploration began. Also when the British colonists came to "The New World" (North America) to settle into permanent settlement.
