Who were the first people to live north America are called?

The first people to live in North America are often referred to as Paleo-Indians or Indigenous Peoples of the Americas. These groups of people came to North America from Asia in waves of migrations across the Bering Strait that began around 20,000 years ago. They came during the last Ice Age, when sea levels were lower and a large land bridge called the Bering Land Bridge existed between Asia and North America. These early peoples were nomadic hunter-gatherers, following herds of animals like mammoths, mastodons, and caribou for sustenance. They used tools and weapons made of stone, bone, and wood, and developed various cultures and traditions as they spread throughout the continent.
