Best Answer

Columbus discovered the primitive tribes living on the Caribbean islands. He called them "indios", thinking he had reached the islands off Asia. Future explorers and conquistadorsenslaved many islanders, to the extent of denying the Church permission to baptize the natives. So it was likely an economic aim, not an intellectual distinction, that labeled the American natives as savages.
