Actually, there is now mitochondrial DNA evidence that some Ice Age Europeans did travel to North America about 17,000 BC. (Was reported in the 'National Geographic Magazine').
Some Native American tribes of the Great Lakes area say that their ancestors came from the east (ie Europe). In addition, stone tools which resemble Upper Palaeolithic (Ice Age) European stone tools have been found in the eastern United States.
Of course research is still continuing but it is a fascinating discovery.

I am of "Indian " descent and I am thoroughly amazed at your statement. If you had have done any research in this area I really don't believe that you would be making this statement. There are many history books and documentaries that will be quite enlightening if you were to check them out. I am very PROUD to be, as you put it an "Indian" I prefer to refer to myself as a " First Nations person " and yes it is a fact that the First Nations Peoples were here in North America before the Europeans or English people ever arrived .

My dear child please read your history again... The native americans were the ones who settled here first before the Europeans arrived. Europeans only arrived here because they were searching for spices and as for Columbus, he discovered America by accident. When America was discovered by people from Europe, they started to colonize it taking land away from the native, who were the American Indians at that time...

I'm not an American Indian, but they were the first to inhabit the New World. They came from Asia by way of the Bering Strait (when it was frozen over) probably 10,000 years ago.

Read something on the lost tribes of Israel, that may give you more insight on the genital separations of descendants whom may have migrated to the Western hemisphere during that time. What Native Americans are you speaking of? I agree with you, even though my adopted father being Native American, he never speculated on this controversy, he made it a rule of thumb to use the bible as a reference and so I choose it over his cultural or natural instincts. Somehow we are all related and that is what sucks....

If they mean who were the first people to call themselves "Americans," then it would be the Europeans.

Unless more archaeological sites are found linking the Europeans with the US, we won't know for sure.
