Original Note:
Although it’s true that many Native tribes engaged in human sacrifices, Christopher Columbus was no better than them. Upon encountering the Arawak people, a notably peaceful tribe, he kidnapped + enslaved them for Spain. Those who resisted were beaten, raped and/or killed. https://billofrightsinstitute.org/e-lessons/should-we-remember-christopher-columbus-as-a-conqueror-or-explorer
