     🌎 ⛵️The islands in the Caribbean are also sometimes referred to as

the West Indies. Christopher Columbus thought he had reached the

Indies (Asia) on his voyage to find another route there.

Instead he had reached the Caribbean. The Caribbean was named

the West Indies to account for Columbus' mistake.



Questions:


When did history say Christopher Columbus discovered your island home? 

How do people on the island feel about the mistake he made and

how history has recorded it?  Share your findings.
