The first humans in America originally weren’t American because before the Ice Age there wasn’t any way to get across the ocean, and there wasn’t anyone here when the first humans got to America.

    The creation and introduction of the Bering Land Bridge hypothesis provided Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples with an explanation for how the peopling of North America came to occur that is separate from traditional Indigenous origin stories. However, it is key to note that, as with any hypothesis, there are academics who agree and disagree with the idea that people migrated from Asia to North America along the Bering land bridge (McIlwraith, 2016). The book by Dan O’Neill entitled The Last Giant of Bering (2004) claims to confirm the existence of the land bridge, whereas the article in the September issue of Nature entitled “Postglacial viability and colonization in North America’s ice-free corridor” (2016) claims the opposite. This…

    Several people around the world believe that Christopher Columbus discovered America, and a day should be dedicated to him for all that he has done. However, there are people who acknowledge Columbus Day to be unnecessary due to the fact he truly did not discover America.

Columbus should not have a national holiday dedicated to him because he did not discover America, his actions were horrendous such as mistreating the Taino, and he also played a part in spreading diseases and bringing slavery to the New World. First off, Christopher Columbus was not the first person to discover America as believed by numerous people, and neither did Columbus ever step foot on American soil.…
