Answer depends on where in North America. The end of the last ice-age in North America is generally thought to have occurred between 12 to 16 thousand years ago with some scientists thinking maybe10 thousand years ago and some convinced 18 thousand years ago is more accurate. Regardless, the end of the age occurred much earlier in the south than in the north.
