What time period?
Pre to the 1600s
First no one "founded" the continents. They were here long, long before there were any people on earth.

The Native Americans were the first people to inhabit the Americas.

These sites discuss some of their accomplishments. Be careful, some of the references are to those in other parts of the Americas than the U.S.

Basically there were no literary movements (except for oral traditions) because the people hadn't developed writing.
Thank You so much. And the types of writing and genres they used were naturism. Is that correct?
Native Americans did not write.
But when they finally started writing, was n't not based on naturism?
