Indians aka Native Americans

[Autistic Austin]

What do you think Christopher Columbus would have named the Native Americans if he originally knew it wasn't India?

Lol, good one. I bet they would be called by their tribes at first, then maybe just stick to savages lol.

Ask an Indian who has asked this question most of his life .

Why did Christopher Columbus and his followers coin our people as Indians ?

He spoke old world Spanish and within this language is the word Indios which then is made plural as Indian and it means , those that are close to God as this is what Indian truly meant and is suppose to mean . Imagine the thoughts they had upon contact , the vast spiritual ways from nation to nation was more than amazing when one saw it in its glory !

Columbus Quotes
"they are artless and generous with what they have, to such a degree as no one would believe but him who had seen it. Of anything they have, if it be asked for, they never say no, but do rather invite the person to accept it, and show as much lovingness as though they would give their hearts.""their Highnesses may see that I shall give them as much gold as they need .... and slaves as many as they shall order to be shipped."
"with fifty men they can all be subjugated and made to do what is required of them."

"We shall take you and your wives and your children, and shall make slaves of them, and as such shall sell and dispose of them as their Highnesses may command; and we shall take away your goods, and shall do all the harm and damage that we can."
