Starting at India, the Native Americans traveled north at Asia, crossed the Bering Strait where it was occupied by a bridge during the Age, and traveled south throughout North America.
Since they are native to the American continents, they are known as Native Americans. When the first explorers arrived at America, they thought they had traveled to India, hence the name Indians was given to the natives.
Columbus was trying to get to India when he ran into North America. He thought that he had arrived in India, so he referred to the Native Americans as Indians. AND, we still refer to them as such.

Yes, though "Native Americans" is much more correct than "American Indians". The early explorers accidentally mistook the natives for Indians because they did not know a world outside of Asia, Europe and Africa. They sailed west thinking they would hit India, but instead ran into America. Because they thought they landed in India, the Indian term stuck, even though the Native Americans are not Indians. (Indians are Caucasians while Native Americans are more related to East Asians).

Native Americans were not from India. They are native to America, hence the name. The term Indians is a historical mistake due to Colombus thinking he was in India when he arrived in the Americas. The term has stuck, though everyone knows the Americas are not India.
he want to go to India but lost his way so he end up in with native Americans.

No, Native Americans are from tribes like the Cherokees and other tribes. They originated in America. Indians are from the country India, and are a whole other group of people from the Native Americans. The reason why Native Americans are sometimes referred to as Indians is because, when Christopher Columbus was sailing to India, he accidentally ended up in North America where he called all the Native Americans, Indians.
He never did. He mistook USA for India, which is why Native Americans were called Indians.

No, Native Americans were the original inhabitants of America.
