By definition, the Native Americans who came across the Bering Sea (in theory):\nhttp://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/immigrant\n\nOtherwise--the first non-native to arrive was Leif Erikson:\nhttp://books.google.com/books?ie=UTF-8&hl=en&vid=ISBN1575056496&id=sZwtPXP4uygC&pg=PA3&lpg=PA3&dq=first+person+to+set+foot+in+America&prev=http://books.google.com/books%3Fq%3Dfirst%2Bperson%2Bto%2Bset%2Bfoot%2Bin%2BAmerica&sig=K-S6AAqUaDtl0H2no_c3qaTmoJ8

The 'first' Native Americans migrated from the North,and it is speculated they 'rebounded to the North,encountering later tribes and groups,causing conflict in their midsts.Some may still be of record-Apache vs.native Mex-Indio tribes into the 1700-1800's. Many of the 'new' natives worked soft metals-gold,silver and possibly copper-and developed mines where mineral traces led into the earth.I would tend to believe these peoples did not develop 'hard' metallurgy,as the techniques were beyond access for mining,and thanks to Bessemer,We (us conquering Americans) only recently were able to produce steel,and tensile steel in any quantity.

Native Americans were here first. They are the original americans. Indians are not from India. They were only called "Indians" because the first settlers didn't have GPS systems or anything and thought they were in India instead of what we now call the U.S.\n\nThe native americans are Asians and originally came here by crossing the Berring Straight from Russia.

Yep, there was a Native American geonocide.\n\nThere were millions of people living in the Americas when Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492. Columbus's voyage to what Europeans called the "New World" set the stage for the later European colonization of the Americas, with millions of emigrants (willing and unwilling) from the "Old World" eventually resettling in the Americas. While the population of Old World peoples in the Americas steadily grew in the centuries after Columbus, the population of the American indigenous peoples plummeted. The extent and causes of this population decline have long been the subject of controversy and debate, which became particularly widespread in 1992 during the 500th anniversary of Columbus's famous voyage, with a number of people claiming that the natives of the Americas have been the victims of genocide.

First do a search for the names of Native American Tribes.  That will give you a good start for all the information you will need.

Asian peoples who later formed the native american tribes were the first.  hundreds of years later the vikings (anglo saxons) also arrived to explore the Americas.  Hundreds of years after that in 1492, A spanish Explorer Christopher Columbus, was paid by the Queen of Portugal to find a new route to India.  He choose to sail west rather than east and landed in what is now South America.  He then went on to India.  After Columbus returned to Portugal, he reported what he found to the Queen.  After the news of his adventures spread Spain and Portugal both began sending expiditions to the Americas and formed a few colonies in South and Central America.  \n\nIn the late 16th Century, France and Britain were exploring North America and Britain formed the James town settlement.  The first British Colony in the Americas.  France was also sending convicts to work the land in eastern Canada.  \n\nDuring the 17th century, many British and a few Dutch groups came to the New World for religious freedom.  By the early 18th century young British men were braving the new world in hopes of making their fortunes and some adventurous intellectuals also made the journey.  \n\nIt was not until the 19th century that significant numbers of non-Brits (Eastern Europeans, Italians, Germans, etc.) came to the United States.

I am .8 percent Native American. I just missed the amount you need to be to get all education free. My grandpa got college completely free though! I think the tribe was not well known so I can't tell you w/o lying.

Hi.  This is a very interesting question and one that is close to home for me. I am a home educator and when I first began home schooling my children, like the year before, I brushed up on history.  So many things were difficult to tell my children, namely, the beginning when so many lives were lost during the Europeans taking over the land. I think what we walked away with year after year (now 10 years of teaching this topic) is that the native americans at first were quite puzzled as to why anyone would want to fight over this land, as they did not even view it as their own. The land didn't belong to them any more than the white man. If I am correct, they believe the land was there by \nGod(s) and we are to replenish it and respect it. White believed what ever they could take by force, should be theirs. Now I do not set around blaming Europeans any more than I hold present Native Americans responsible for the killings that some of tribes attributed to. But I do believe that lack of compassion is taught in our school books, when introducing America to our children. There are many Christian history books that I have bought and read and taught from however, that do teach this compassion to the original people, the Native Americans.  Interesing also is that some folks do not believe "native Americans" were the native people, but that vikings such as Leif Ericson were the first in North America.  Or maybe the Asians, who came across the Bering St. before the ocean covered it...and that is where native americans come from?  Sorry to be so lengthy. I just love history of America and this topic is near my heart.  God bless!

My answer is easy, Paiute Tribe on my Dad's side, going back at least 10,000 years and Pomo & Wailaki tribes on my mom's side going back at least that long also.  It's easy to trace my native american lineage.

I think you're going to have to be more specific. I'm Native American, I get up every day and go to class, among other things....I don't really think you wanted to hear about my life. But you really need to say what time period, and what particular tribe

Save for the Native American Indians, isn't everyone from the US originally an immigrant?

Native Americans make up about 1% of the U.S. population.  This includes Alaskan Inuits (Eskimos).
