Who were the first colonists in America?
The first colonists in America were people that we now call Native Americans or Indians. They came from northeastern Asia, probably across the Bering Land Bridge or by boat along the coasts. We don't know the exact dates -- but probably 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.
is that also the french colonists
Nope.
France is in Europe, not Asia.
The first European colonists in America were from Norway. They settled in Greenland and what is now eastern Canada about 1000 A.D.
The Spanish had colonies in the Caribbean as early as about 1500.
