What happened during Columbus first meeting with the native people?
Well, when Christopher Columbus first arrived to the Bahamas, he saw the native group of the Arawaks. They both looked at each other is disbeleif. Christopher Columbus couldn't believe his eyes. The native were almost nude. They did some exchanges. The native American showed the Europeans around the island. Later Christopher Columbus started turning the first nations' religion to christian. If they didn't listen they would be killed. So one thing everyone who knows abbout christopher Columbus should think about. Is christopher Columbus such a good person just because he discovered north America? Or is he a bad person because he killed 50% of first nations? He killed the history and people. That is the reason why people never see first nations. I personnally am Canadian and i think that christopher columbusshouldn't of killed so many people.
