Land bridge from Sibera to Alaska

The Chumash indians in the Los Angeles and Santa Barbara areas of the California coast were among the longest residents of the Americas. They must have come by boat. Their lore says that man came from the island of Catalina.
They used split timber to build boats called Tomol's and traveled far by boat. If they came from the far side of the pacific in a boat that would explain a lot. And that would be long before the other natives came across the "foot bridge" of the alsaska to asia ice pack.

It is thought that the very first came from Asia through the Berring Straights. Vikings were also thought to have come from the northeast way before Columbus. Some early Irish priests were set afloat in boats with no oars to prove their faith (or to be banished for the same kind of stuff going on today) and are thought to have ended up here about the 4th century AD

Firstly, it depends on what you define as 'American' and who fits that definition. The first people to move onto the landmass now called America, they crossed a land bridge in the region of the modern Bering Sea from Europe, moving through what it now Canada south through what is now the USA, into what we now call Central America and South America. The first so-called 'Americans', as someone else has already said, came after the War of Independence.

Across the Bering Strait during the Ice Age.
Native Americans are descended from Asian peoples.

Well, the first Americans are really the Native Americans, and they just originated here, the same way Africans originated in Africa and Asians originated in Asia. But if you're referring to the explorers who "discovered" America by coming over and killing all the natives, whilst picking their brains for useful planting tips, they came over by ships. (The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria, and then the Mayflower later on, remember?)
