Life in the New Colonies

It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Created by a European artist, the image shown below depicts a group of Europeans arriving on distant shores and meeting an indigenous population. After examining the picture, and using the information that you have already learned in this module, write down three to four observations about what you see happening in the image. When Columbus arrived in the West Indies, how do you think the indigenous peoples reacted? How do you think the Europeans viewed the indigenous people?
