The leader of the Arawak Indians who encountered Christopher Columbus was Chief Guacanagarí. He was the chief of the Arawak people on the island of Hispaniola, where Columbus landed in 1492. Guacanagarí initially welcomed Columbus and his crew, offering them hospitality and assistance, which set the stage for the subsequent interactions between the indigenous people and the European explorers.
