Most of the Caribbean Islands had indigenous people who lived on each island well before Columbus ever arrived. Each people had their own name.
There were approximately 40 million people living in North and South America when Columbus landed in the Caribbean Islands.
A lot of people think he landed in North America but he didn't he landed in the Caribbean.
There are no official estimates but populations were sparse in the region at the time. Columbus only made 4 voyages and didn't actually see all of the Caribbean.
While Christopher Columbus is credited with finding and landing on many of the Caribbean Islands, they were populated long before his happy accident. The people native to these islands are:ArawakIgneriTaínoCaquetioCiboneyCiguayoGalibiGarifunaIsland CaribsKalinagoLucayanMacorixRaizalSo, more accurately, depending on which you mean, people from the list above "found" the Caribbean islands.
Supposedly, "In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue" Most people agree he landed some where in the Caribbean, not on North America.

Yes. In 1492 Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean with three boats, the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Nina. He and his crew were trying to find India. Where he landed was what we now call the United States of America.

Christopher Columbus, the Ciboney and the Native Americans were the first people to arrive in the Caribbean Islands. Good luck on the test or why ever your looking this up.
There were people living on islands in the Caribbean long before Columbus. The name comes from the Caribe Tribe but they kept no written records.
Columbus encountered Taino people when he and his men first landed. When he went to more islands nearby, he found gold and precious objects.
I think Columbus is a Italian explorer who sailed the ocean in 1492 and landed in the Caribbean. I also think that he is a mean man who treated the Arawak's wrong and treated them like salves. So in conclusion, i think that Christepher Columbus is lucky that he got out of jail and got to go another voyage when he treated the Arawak's (the people who live in the Caribbean) very wrong.
