Three waves of Native American ancestral groups crossed the Bering Straight Ice Bridge some 20-30,000 years ago. A fourth ancestral group had DNA tracings back to the Solutreans, people who lived in Ice Age France and Spain. Their progeny are linked by DNA to the modern Ojibwe Indians.

Vikings, from Norway and or Denmark, first reached North America near the Atlantic shores of Canada (Newfoundland area).

They say "Erik the Red" was the first one, a Norse salor that lived from about 950 to 1000 AD. I, however, hold out hope that some Phoencian sailed to America in antiquity, though he most likely never made it back, and we'd be hard-pressed to find any evidence of any settlement he made.
edit: Sorry, "Leif Ericson", Erik the Red's son. Eric the Red just colonized Greenland; it was Leif that actually went to North America.
