Columbus first encountered the group of Indians called Taino or "noble ones."
Indians. Columbus came later
Christopher Columbus did not "find" the Native Americans, often referred to as "Red Indians," during his voyages. He first arrived in the Americas in 1492, landing in the Bahamas, where he encountered various indigenous peoples. The term "Red Indians" is outdated and considered offensive; it's more appropriate to refer to them as Native Americans or Indigenous peoples. Columbus's arrival marked the beginning of European colonization, which had profound effects on the native populations.

No not at all. When Columbus arrived in North America he belived he had landed in Asia therefor naming the first peoples Indians. As for the Plateau tribes ... No they do in fact count as the FIRST POEPLES OF CANADA. Not indian.
The first Native Americans that Columbus encountered referred to themselves as the Taíno. They were part of a larger group of Arawakan-speaking peoples in the Caribbean. The Taíno had a rich culture and social structure, and they identified themselves by their specific communities or tribes rather than a collective name for all indigenous peoples. Columbus mistakenly referred to them as "Indians" due to his belief that he had reached the outskirts of India.
