The first colonists of New York were descendants of Asians who had crossed the ice bridge to the North American continent 16,000 to 20,000 years ago. Over generations, they migrated across the continental divide and used the river systems on the prairies and the Great Lakes to create the Iroquois Confederacy in New York.
