∙ 12y agoCanada was first discovered in prehistoric times by the ancestors of the First Nations.
Current theory is that humans crossed over from Asia to North America on foot, via what has been called a "land bridge." This "land bridge" occurred during the last Ice Age, when sea levels dropped several hundred feet, thereby exposing the sea bed of the Bering Strait, between Alaska and Russia.
While it is quite possible that prehistoric people also crossed the Bering Strait in some form of boat, there is no hard evidence available to support that theory.
