No, Native American Indians did not have to cross an ocean to arrive in North America. They are believed to have migrated from Asia to North America via a land bridge called Beringia, which connected present-day Siberia and Alaska during the last Ice Age. This migration occurred thousands of years ago, long before the arrival of Europeans.
