2.Who were the 1st Americans?

The first Americans originally came from Asia, and to get to America they probably crossed a land bridge that used to exist in the Bering Strait, between Russia and Alaska. Some tribes were nomadic, others were farmers. There were many different tribes who had various methods for living, such as gathering food and water, and how they built their homes. All of these things depended on the climate. The Pueblo, who lived from A.D.1 to A.D. 1300, lived in the region of the four corners, and managed to farm in the desert through irrigation. The Adena were hunters and gatherers who lived in the Ohio River valley from about 800 B.C. to A.D.100. The Hopewell lived between 200 B.C. to A.D. 500. They were farmers and traders who built huge burial earthworks in shapes of birds, snakes, and bears. The Hohokam lived from about A.D.200 to A.D.1400 in Arizona. They irrigated water to their crops by digging hundreds of miles of channels. They produced pottery, carved stone, and etched shells with acid. Sometime after A.D.900, the Mississippians were alive, and they built some of the largest known earthworks complex in present day Illinois.

It might have become too hot, cold, wet, dry or humid to live in the area so they had to move. Climate change also then affects food supply, which might have led them to migrate in search of food AND better living conditions. Also the fact that the food the were hunting for many years was becoming extinct. Link

2. Who were the first Americans?
Asians from northeast asia near siberia (according to national geographic) because when they came over from the land bridge, the other end of the bridge was Asia therefore they were Asians from the siberia area and northeast asia. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/09/0903_030903_bajaskull.html

Early humans might of migrated because of food.  They might of killed off the animals and had to move to survive.  Also, they might of moved because of the climate change.  It might of gotten to hot and they would have to move.  “In fact, so many animals got killed that some of them became extinct.  But, in most cases, their disappearance wasn’t because of the hunters… After the Ice Age when the climate, warmed up, mammoths could not adjust.”  (Blue Book).

2.  Who were the 1st Americans?

I think the first Americans were the Indians.  I think that they came over the land bridge to the Americas and settled there.  They were not Native because everyone’s ancestors was born in a different place.  So I believe people from Asia were the first Americans.  “Genetic findings suggest that a single population of modern humans migrated from southern Siberia toward the land mass known as the Bering Land Bridge as early as 30,000 years ago, and crossed over to the Americas by 16,500 years ago. Archaeological evidence shows that by 15,000 years ago, humans had made it south of the Canadian ice sheets.”  https://www.nps.gov/bela/learn/historyculture/other-migration-theories.htm
