It is generally thought by anthropologists that America was peopled by Asians who crossed a land bridge between what is now Siberia and Alaska many thousands of years ago. Studies of blood groups support this theory. As for Europe, the first Europeans to visit the Americas are thought to be the Norse peoples. The remains of their settlements can be found in northeastern Canada. It is thought that changing climate in the form of severe cooling and the increase in ice formation drove them out of the region. The increasing severity of the winters forced shorter summers (with narrow growing and grazing periods) on the immigrants, and ice blocking bays for longer periods isolated them to the point they could not sustain themselves.
Columbus is said to be the first one to discover America, however, roughly 500 years before Columbus there was a Viking ship who traveled from Scandinavia to Iceland, Greenland and landed in Canada. Leif Eriksson was the first European to set foot on the mainland of the Americas, this happened in New Foundland, Canada, 1005.
The first people into the Americas were nomadic hunters. They didn't plan to come here, they followed the migrations of the game. There was no point where somebody said "hey, welcome to the New World" Like most people, they were interested in getting enough to eat and leaving things a bit better for their children. We don't consider them "Native Americans" as they weren't born here and they predate the development of today's Native Americans(Indians). Rather we call them "PaleoIndians."They walked across dry land from Asia. The first Europeans to arrive in North America -- at least the first for whom there is solid evidence -- were Norse, traveling west from Greenland, where Erik the Red had founded a settlement around the year 985.
The first people to come to America were the pilgrims.

The Vikings arrived in North America long before the pilgrims arrived. Prior to the Vikings, the people we call First Nations or Native Americans migrated here first.
