Indians may have been in North and South America for as long as 15,000 years. The exact number is uncertain. Much earlier dates have been proposed for a few sites but they do not seem to lead anywhere. Such a place or places may have been where a single fishing boat was blown across the ocean and a few fishermen set up a camp. Without any women along, they could not have children and have a permanent settlement. Since the question concerns when a permanent settlement occurred, the answer is about 15,000 years ago.

Experts speculate 30,000-15,000 years ago. Many Native American tribes believe they were created on the North American Continent.
