Christopher Columbus tortured and killed many Native Americans (Taino people) when he landed his three ships in the West Indies. Also he made some of them slaves. The slaves are believed to have rebelled against him until help from Spain arrived.

Christopher Columbus treated the natives (Taino Indians) very poorly. Columbus killed many Taino people. He also ordered every Taino at the age 14 and older to find him gold. The poor Tainos looked, and looked but couldn't find enough gold. For not finding enough gold, Columbus punished the Tainos, and cut off their hands, and make them be slaves. Christopher Columbus was a very mean and scary person to the Taino Indians. The Tainos thought of Columbus as a villain coming to their land.

Of course! The Native Americans were friendly when they met Columbus and the Spanish explorers because they thought Columbus and his explorers to be honorable people. Columbus portrayed himself in this way. He was very kind and polite to the Native Americans and made sure to treat them with respect. The Native Americans, after all, had never seen Europeans before, and although they were a bit taken aback, they admired them (of course, until they realized the Europeans only wanted their land and were only seeking to exploit them).

Why did the native Americans treat DE Soto and expedition differently from Columbus and expedition?

Native Americans treated de Soto's expedition differently from Columbus' because by the time de Soto arrived, indigenous populations had experienced previous encounters with Europeans like Columbus and thus were more wary and resistant. Additionally, de Soto's expedition was more aggressive, seeking gold and resources through force, resulting in increased hostility from Native Americans.
