Yet five centuries after the Indiansâ fateful meeting with Columbus, elements of their culture endureâin the genetic heritage of modern Antilleans, in the persistence of Taino taÃ­no words and in isolated communities where people carry on traditional methods of, architecture, farming fishing and. healing
On October 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus landed on a small island he called San Salvador. Columbus believed he had reached the Indies, or the islands southwest of India that include Indonesia and Malaysia. Columbus died believing he had reached the east by sailing west, but instead he had discovered a ânew world.â. San Salvador was one of the islands in the Caribbean Sea, a body of water between North America and South America. The islands of the Caribbean are part of the West Indies. The West Indies received its name because Columbus believed the native people of the Caribbean Islands were Indians. The Caribbean Sea is named for the Carib, nomadic sea-faring warriors who lived in the region when Columbus arrived.
