Yes. He made several trips to the americas. The first of which led him to what is present day Cuba and he later made it to central america. However, he did not make it to the area now known as the U.S.

side note, the proper term is Native American. American Indians don't exist. "indian" is a term mistakenly used for native Americans because Columbus thought he was in India.
