Were Chinese came to North America first, back thousands years ago? According to native Indians...?

Update:

Pardon my English...to Mark C...The Chinese language doesn't have "Grammar" at all, in the English sense. This accounts for our humorous English. But you did understand the question, didn't you?

Thank you all for answering my question...

    They weren't Chinese, but they were people of Asian descent who crossed the land bridge across the Bering Strait (Russia to Alaska present day). Their culture was unique and spread throughout the Americas over time and branched off into different groups (later became Indian tribes). The closest living descendants are the Eskimos and Inuits.

    Plenty of evidence suggests so. The fact that a small carving found on the western coast of Mexico showed a man with slanted eyes and facial hair, something that native americans werent familiar with. Also there are Chinese records of treasure ships coming to a land which was described as the Western coast of Mexico and i forget the tribe name but in the Chinese records the tribe name is so similar when pronounced in both languages it is amazing they also described how they were peaceful. Just google it there is tons of information on all the people who found america before Columbus
