the Native Americans. Popcorn was introduced to the Europeans in the late 15th century when Christopher Columbus noted that the Native Americans made popcorn corsages and popcorn headdresses which they sold to Columbus' sailors. French explorers, around the year 1612, in the Great Lakes region documented use of popcorn by the Iroquois who popped corn in pottery using hot sand. They also reported that during an Iroquois dinner, popcorn soup and popcorn beer were consumed.[1] By the late 19th century, popcorn was being sold in the United States commercially.

The Native American Indians invented popcorn. I saw this in a movie and also read about it in a book.

Corn is a new world food, and Indians were reported to have made it. So I guess Native Americans invented it.

Native americans would hold corn kernels to a stick using maple sap from the trees, and the corn would pop.

That is a Native American and South American tradition that no one can attribute to one particular person.
