The native Americans were originally a group of travelers from Asia. They reach North America through a natural bridge that no longer exists about 12,000 years ago. They soon populated the areas now known as North America and South America. There was, however, a massive decrease in the native population when these lands were settled by Europeans. About 2.5 million Native Americans currently live in the United States.
