Columbus is Greedy

Once upon a time I was dancing and round the fire and three big boats pulled up and parked in our boat parking lot. So we went to go check it out and then this man stepped off with a big hat and a beard with a tall flag and he stabbed it into the ground and said i found this land, its mine now. Then when he finally noticed we were standing there he thought he had discovered us and we were his. The next day he kept asking us were our gold is and wanting us to find it for him so we dug it up and showed him then he told use he was going to borrow it. Then he asked if any of us wanted to come on a luscious trip with him to his other land so as many of us that we could fit on his boat they went. I got on board too, and it was the longest trip of our lives lots of us died but i was one of the few survivors. When we got to his home he strapped us in chains right away and we became slaves forever.

Columbus

Once upon a time, many, many years ago the daily ceremonies were taking place within the our camp. All the kids were having a good time playing with the dogs and unicorns, when suddenly one of the elders from across the camp, spotted three large boats coming in from far out in the sea. Quickly everyone gathered the children and waited for the new comers to arrive. All of us Taino’s were ready with our weapons and ninja skills just in case the new people were dangerous and wanted war.

Once the new people arrived, everyone stood in awe at what had just come. We all looked at each other like “what do we do next?”, and finally one of the new comers started to speak. No one understood anything this person was saying, but from the gestures he was using, it seemed like he was very angry and wanted us to give him our weapons. After some violent throwing of the fists and yelling in foreign languages, we suddenly were all forced to spread around our land and dig for who knows what. Whenever one of us would find anything that they wanted, we would have to give it up before we could even examine it. After digging for days and days, the new comers finally let us have a break while they talked in that same mysterious tone.

During the night, the new comers would go into the bushes until morning, and we could spend our evenings around the fire. The torture never seemed to stop, and through the whole thing, we learned that the main chef of the new comers, was the hated one. Even his traveler buddies seemed to despise him and only the chef ever called us the terrible word; Indians. We only understood about three words that ever came out of his mouth and most you didn't want to hear.


When we all thought it was over, it only got worse. A lot of people from camp were killed in horrific ways and no one had a reason why. When the people brought over big things that looked very dangerous, they only made us work with them. We were forced to work with the supplies that we had worked days for, and if it was done wrong, away with the hands of the workers. If anything ever got caught or hut, one of the people would gladly get it out for you or take the pain away, with his axe. We all came to the agreement that this horrible experience would never be spoken of again if we could help it, and the newcomers would get a taste of their own medicine one day.

Columbus, the Hero?

It was a day the same as every other day. Me and my men went out for our daily hunt. Our wives and children were at the camp making clothes and gathering food. We needed all the resources we could get, so every one worked together as a group and shared what we had. We were having bad luck on our hunting trip, but decided we should keep looking for a while longer.

One of my men yelled out, “that way, something is coming!” Our hunting tribe charged towards the animal. Quickly I commanded the men to stop, because it was not an animal. It was my daughter, she came to me running, crying and screaming. I had to listen carefully to understand her speedy words. Her message was difficult to understand for all of us including her. Someone had come to shore on massive boats.

There was not only a few people either. There were armies of men, with weapons. They could over power us in a second, but we needed to try and protect our land and people. We ran the fastest we could to get to where the commotion was coming from, and found a terrible sight. The strange people had invaded our land. This was very insulting to us, a man who seemed to be the leader told us his name was Columbus. The mysterious man said he was from another land. He needed what our land had, but he said the land was his. No one understood, we lived here, he came and now the land was his?

Columbus and his men forced my tribe to do things that we did not want to do. He threatened us, if we did not do what he wanted we would be tortured. My people were forced to find gold and take it back to Columbus, if we did not get the required amount we would have our hands brutally chopped off. Columbus brought fear to all of us.

Anything he wanted us to do we did. Farming sugarcane was an order, some of my men were put in danger everyday producing the sugarcane. The machines used were extremely difficult to use and you could easily get your clothing or even hands caught in. If this happened your hand or arm would simply be cut off. Running away was even worse than staying. You did not have much chance of actually getting away. If you were caught you would be hanged or burnt to death. Aside from the work and danger Columbus brought to our land him and his men, savagely raped our women, no mercy was felt by Columbus. Yet he is thought of as a hero who "found" the new land for people today.

Columbus Story

Once open time we were living our life. It was a cold day when we r our daily food. When were hunting we saw a boat coming from the far we were scared and very nervous. We ran back and told everybody that a ship is coming. We got a welcome feast ready for the boat. The boat showed up and 2 men walked down to the shore we started dancing and singing when the men yelled! “Stop this noise” so we stopped. He was a tall man and was decked out in gold.The other guy looked like us he was tied up with rope and he was beat up. The man yelled his name it was Cristorpher he said to us “I have came to claim this land”. My people yelled NO! we were here first we claimed this land so leave. The man moved towards us reached back in to his pocket and pulled out a gun and started shooting he shot at the people we all ran has people were falling behind us yelling in pain. The man was on a rampage he caught some of our wife and tied them up and threw in his boat he chased everyone up into the mountains. We were all scared for our lives. Our wife are in trouble we got our weapons ready to go fight back. We started walking towards the boat when we saw a army of boat coming towards the shores we were definitely out numbered we ran back to mountains. The big man sent us a letter that our wife was killed and you better leave and let us claim this land. There was 4 big boats at the shore there were an army of people coming towards the mountains with our wives tied up on a stick with weapons they started shooting and we ran towards them to fight. We had arrows spears and bows as they had shotguns and handguns. We charged as most of our men fell to there death as they were getting shot i decided it wasn’t worth my death so i ran back up the mountain and went to the other side and hid in a cave. I hid for months eating food that came into the cave I walked up to the top of the mountain and looked over the top and I was surprised to what I saw. There were villages set up all over the places with white people living there. I ran towards to my cave I had no clue what to do. I went down to the bottom of the mountain and saw the big gates to the villages I decided to go in and thats when my world was turned around i was shot and now im here telling you how the evil man took over our world.

Columbus is a Bed Intruder

We saw a few boats, with a big man and some other men on it. He had guns, swords, dogs, machetes, and battle axes. All that wondered our minds was why these strange people were coming to our lands. He invaded our land and claimed it saying it was his clearly it was not. He started demanding us to find him gold and threatening us if we didn’t. He would chop off our hands if we didn't have enough gold or none. He started taking our women away and raping them. Some of our people tried to escape but if they were caught they were either hung or burned to death. Eventually many of our people died so we made a army to fight back. We had no weapons but we were fighting for our people, but we were defeated. There wasn’t much we could do but wait for our deaths to arrive.
