Columbus likely described the native people as fearful due to their unfamiliarity with European explorers and the sudden intrusion of foreign ships and individuals into their territory. This fear could have stemmed from their lack of understanding of the Europeans' intentions, as well as the potential threat posed by advanced weaponry and unfamiliar customs. Additionally, Columbus's own perspective and the context of his expedition may have influenced his interpretation of their reactions.

Most likely natives of the pre-Columbus Americas (including the Caribbean) as the tomato plant was indigenous to the Americas and unknown in Europe and elsewhere until that time.
Columbus discovered the primitive tribes living on the Caribbean islands. He called them "indios", thinking he had reached the islands off Asia. Future explorers and conquistadorsenslaved many islanders, to the extent of denying the Church permission to baptize the natives. So it was likely an economic aim, not an intellectual distinction, that labeled the American natives as savages.
