First, he never got to North America so never met an “American Indian “ and the natives he did meet he was rude, and considered them less than himself. On his first voyage when one man brought him a gold nugget he cut his hand off because it wasn’t a lot of gold. On his second voyage he enslaved 1200 people and sent 500 to Spain as slaves. He didn’t cooperate and he considered himself a superior person compared to the natives he met.
