Prior to the arrival of Christopher Columbus what was the indigenous population of North and South America and the Caribbean?
He arrived to the beaches of what now is the Republic of Santo Domingo in the Caribbean in 1492.
Most of the Caribbean Islands had indigenous people who lived on each island well before Columbus ever arrived. Each people had their own name.

christopher columbus named the caribbean sea bcuz of the canibals that lived there.
Soon after Columbus first arrived, there was almost no native left anywhere in the Caribbean. The Conquistadores were forced to begin importing black slaves from Africa to replace the natives they were wiping out. As slaves, these people were forced to adopt the religion of their owners.
