Why Isn't America Named After Christopher Columbus?
This is because Columbus thought he had found the East Indies (Asia). Amerigo, the man after whom America is named, discovered that this was not the Indies but a new world. Columbus died in 1506, still believing that he had found the route to the Asian continent.
What native American cultures did Amerigo Vespucci come across?
OKay, one is led to believe that yes, Amerigo Vespucci did in fact meet with Native Americans. He traveled to many established societies, not made by the Europeans. Just think to yourself when Columbus "discovered" the Americas.Then think of the time when Vespucci explored. There was not much time for the Spanish/other countries to colonize in the part of South America he explored. He did say he met people (Im almost positive) therefore, they must have been Native Americans. Thanks for listening I hope this helped! P.S. The stuff in quotes is what I said, its in quotes because I think it looks cool. =)
