Columbus was supposed to find a trade route to the far east for Spain where they could trade with the rich and wealthy nations there such as China, Japan, and the spice islands.
If he could have accomplished it the Europeans could have brought back a rich cargo of silk, spices and other goods.
However after 2 months of rough sailing they landed not in the far east but in the Caribbean island of San Salvador.

NATIVES
The Arawak indians that lived there were a kind peaceful people that offered Columbus help salvaging his ship and saving his men after the Santa Maria crashed into rocks.
They gave what little food and shelter they had to the newcomers and treated them as guests.
They helped the europeans survive and when they found out that the newcomers wanted gold they gave all them gold they had in their houses
Columbus's message back to Spain said

LONG TERM EFFECT
Protests by natives and non-natives alike are occurring at multiple Columbus day parades across America with strong support from the common people.
The living conditions and situations of many natives in countries that Columbus influenced are still incomparable to how the immigrants and settlers live. Most natives live in small rural villages far away from important resources and education while the settlers are in big cities with plenty of everything.
Prejudice and racism are still directed towards those people and the natives, who were here before us, are now treated like a invaders.
