Christopher Columbus's interactions with Indigenous peoples, particularly the Taíno and Arawak, were marked by initial curiosity and exchanges but quickly devolved into exploitation and violence. He viewed them as potential subjects and labor sources, leading to forced labor, enslavement, and significant population decline due to violence and disease. His arrival initiated a legacy of colonization that had devastating effects on Indigenous cultures and societies in the Americas.
