Most scientists agree that the ancestors of today's native American people came to North America from Asia.
These first Americans descended, or came, from cave men in Asia and arrived some 13,000-14,000 years ago at the end of the period known as the Pleistocene. They probably came to the New World on foot, walking across a land mass known as Beringia -exposed by lower sea levels where the Bering Strait is today.
These were the first people to live in North America.
That is why they are called Native Americans. These people have lived in North America for thousands of years, and today there are still about 2 million Native Americans in the United States and 1 million in Canada...
