User blog comment:Jack Pistol/The First Dragonborn?/@comment-4118072-20121218154849

Perhaps it is that Alessia is perceved by the people to be the first dragonborn because she was the first widly and well know of them while Miraak was known only by a few. Similar to who discovered America first, people often think of christopher columbus (Please lets not go into details on him here) but some poeple know that the Chinese (or was it Japanese) discovered them before him. And others know that the Vikings (Leif Erikson) discovered North American before them.
