What tribe did Cristopher Columbus meet on Hispaniola and what happend?

Arawak Indians, were the ones that Christopher Columbus would meet up with. The English words canoe and tobacco came from Arawak through Spanish. The Spanish saw canoes and tobacco for the first time among the Arawak. The Arawak Indians were farmers. They planted yams, cotton, and cassava, a root crop. The Arawak were known for a dish called "pepper pot," a sort of stew that was made from manioc juice, vegetables, red pepper and meat. Many Arawak Indians would eventually die of disease and forced labor after the Spanish invasion. But, a few tribes live today along the Xingu River in Brazil. The Arawak traded with Columbus. He looked to see if they had any gold, and saw they had small bits of jewelry. He found from them that they had very little gold, but that there was a source of gold farther south.

What were the Arawak indians?

The Arawak Indians were a group of indigenous peoples of South America and the Caribbean, known for their agricultural practices and seafaring skills. They originally inhabited areas in present-day Venezuela, the Greater Antilles, and parts of the Lesser Antilles. The Arawaks are particularly recognized for their encounters with European explorers, such as Christopher Columbus in the late 15th century, which greatly impacted their societies. Over time, many Arawak communities were significantly affected by colonization, leading to a decline in their population and cultural practices.
