There is evidence that humans have inhabited the Americas since about 12,000 BC. Current theory suggests that people naturally migrated in small groups across a 'land bridge' between Alaska and Siberia that came about as a result of the last ice age when there was a drop in sea level of a few hundred feet. There is also considerable speculation that humans might have been in the Americas much earlier, possibly since around 50,000 BC, and that they arrived by primitive boats either from Asia or Polynesia, or possibly both.
