Depends if you mean the modern version. But I'll say the VERY first were the aboriginal people who crossed the land bridge from Asia into North America. If you're talking "modern" man, then I'll say for North America it was the Vikings who came to Canada around 1400 or something like that. They had a settlement in NewFoundland. Then they left and abandoned their settlement and after that maybe the Spanish? Not 100% sure on that one. I think there

It was the American Indians. We learn from our kids every day & both dh & I are learning from this last one alot. After all that History in college (not to mention elem. & high school) I just find out its the American Indians. Good thing she didn't ask me before the test I would have said the Spanish or the pilgrims. LOL


Tam your good, you reme.ber all that.

Depends on what you mean by "immigrate", the first people to come here from another continent were the Vikings.
