==========

"The Guanche People" were the original Indigenous People of the Canary Islands. In 2017, the first genome-wide data from the Guanches confirmed a North African origin and that they were genetically most similar to ancient North African Berber Peoples of the nearby, North African mainland. It is believed, that they arrived on the archipelago some time in the first millennium BCE.

When Christopher Columbus strode ashore in the Bahamas and West Indies on October 12th 1492, he famously called the Indigenous People that he met: “Indians.” Columbus may have called the Peoples of the New World: “Indians”, but really, they were mostly Guanche People, Arawak People and Taino People. He named them: "Indians", simply because, their skin colour reminded him of East Indian Peoples. It had little nothing to do with the fact, that they were in the West Indies (Indos), as that name wasn't applied to this region, until many years later. Columbus never even made it to the North-American (Turtle Island) continent. And if he world have,he would have still "discovered" nothing. Turtle Island was always here and so were all the Indigenous Peoples.
