Did the Native Americans discover America?

Answer 1

the native Americans were here.... America "discovered" us.

EDIT.

America may have discovered us but there is a reason for that the Native Americans wandered over to North America trying to find food in the age we call the Ice Age. They wandered over to North America for survival (what i mean bye that is that they followed the food) when Asia and North America were connected with land called the Bering Strait but as the ice started to melt the water level began to rise and covered the Bering Strait that is no longer there so there you have it. But it is said that the Cherokee Indians were always in America, didn't come from Asia or Europe.

Answer 2

It is generally held that the Bering Strait was where paleo-Indians first entered America. Modern Native Americans reject that interpretation of events and maintain they were here since time immemorial. The middle ground would say that successive ice ages caused migration in and out of America for millions of year and may have caused the extinction of the original inhabitants, the Neanderthals.
