This answer depends on who you define as Native Americans, as the term is normally used that is only the native tribes located in what is today called America. Columbus never touched foot in the United States (america), his travels were limited to the Caribbean, central and south america. When he first landed in Guanahani (modern day San Salvador Island) he encountered the Lucayan, Taino or Arawak peoples.
