By definition, there were never any "indigenous people" in America since humans did not evolve here. All humans originated in Africa so let's just say "first invaders".

That's all well and good, but it doesn't change the fact that Columbus never came to North America. He never invaded this continent, he never did anything that had anything to do with this continent.
He did show up in South America but most of his travel revolved around the Caribbean and the West Indies, particularly Haiti.
