Scientists believe the first people migrated to the Americas around 15,000-20,000 years ago based on archaeological evidence, such as ancient artifacts and DNA analysis. The prevailing theory is that these early migrants crossed a land bridge that connected Asia to North America during the last Ice Age.
No one actually knows for sure how or why the first people migrated. They could have just followed the mammoths. :) I got this answer from school :)

The land bridge theory suggests that around 10,000 years ago, a land bridge called Beringia connected Asia and North America, facilitating the migration of early humans into the Americas. This theory helps explain how humans first populated the Americas by crossing from Asia into North America.
