The answer to the question: The term refers to the first people (Native Americans) who entered North America nearly 12.000 years ago, would be: Paleo-Americans.

Explanation:

Although there is still a lot being looked for, and there are a lot of questions still open about the truth of human settlement in the Americas, due to recent discoveries that show that there might have been human settlements even before the arrival of the Clovis people, usually thought to have been the first American settlers, the term that is still in use among experts to designate these early Americans is Paleo-Americans. They are also known by the name of Clovis people and they are believed to have crossed over 12.000 to 13.000 years ago, during the last Ice Age, through Beringia.
