If you are asking when the first humans arrived in North America, the answer would be nomadic hunters who crossed the Bering Strait anywhere from 10,000 to 25,000 years ago. They were not born here and we call them "PaleoIndians," and they pre-date today's Native Americans. The first Europeans to arrive in North America -- at least the first for whom there is solid evidence -- were Norse, traveling west from Greenland, where Erik the Red had founded a settlement around the year 985. In 1001 his son Leif is thought to have explored the northeast coast of what is now Canada and spent at least one winter there.
