Answer 2

It was inhabited by people.

Prior to the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas, and even the arrival of the Vikings, North America was inhabited by people that we now call Native Americans. It is believed that people first inhabited North America between 15 and 16 millennia ago, after crossing the land bridge between the Eurasian continent to the Americas (Bering Land Bridge Theory).
