Answer 1

I read today about some bones and things that they found that proves Indians were here about 15.000 years ago. my people on both sides of the family came to the upstate of South Carolina as the very first settlers when there was only Indians here. and before there was a state or a county or a country just when there was my family's there.my grandfather showed me where he was born and his great great great great grandparents where born.and the old family cemetery where theres just river stones as graves.
The Indians came to America from Asia over a land bridge that is now underwater, then they spread out and the different tribe s came into being as they spread out,. there were about eight million Indians when the white man came. then by the turn of the last century ,1900. there were not but about 250.000 left, the whites killed them down to about nothing, what a shame.I do know that my people got along fine with the Cherokee.who lived there with them in the same area of what is now Greenville county S.C.the Cherokee even faught off the yankee invaders as best they could.

Answer 2

I don't know but I am an American Native, you know whoo whoo, ugh! And we were the first civilization here for 10,000 years. North American Native Tribes, like the Iroquois, The Algonquins, the Lummis, Lakotas (Souix), Seminole, Cherokee, Shawnee, Pueblo, Hopi, Luni, Apache, Cheyenne, Black Foot, Iroquois, Manhattes, etc. There were the Nordic people from Scandinavia's, Leif Erickson, the Portuguese(Magellan) The Romans and or Latins, Spaniard, Americas Vespucci, Christopher Columbus, Cortez, that came across the Atlantic. We had the others from the Pacific Northwest. The southern half was invaded by the Spaniard, like Coronado came through Mexico, and or the Mayan lands, which they were natives too, from south America, and the Aztecs, and Incas, as well. White folks came later, like the Puritans and the Pilgrims from Britain, France, Germany, Austria, etc.,

Answer 3

To make a long story short scientists have said that people came from Asia for food across a "land"(really ice) bridge over the now Bering Straight and were never able to get back because it melted. After that they had babies and their descendants became the ones we know today as Native Americans. Also Native Canadians, Caribbean Indians, Latin American Indians and anyone I might have left out.

Answer 4

I am guessing the first "Americans" were the North American Indian tribes, I may be mistaken but I think the Mayan culture was based in Peru and so they would be classed as South American, The first settlers were from Europe, mainly England Spain and France. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

There were 4-5 waves of migrations prior to european contact, ranging from 12,000 to 20,000 years ago. Mitochondrial DNA analysis of North American pre-Columbian Peoples showed the expected Asian markers for 3-4 waves of migrations over the Bering Strait ice bridge.

Investigators have also found evidence of pre-Columbian European influences, along with the Asian markers, in the DNA of the Ojibwa Tribe. This new DNA turned out to be similar to that of the Clovis-like Solutrean People of ancient France and Spain.
