Columo never discovered what is nowadays the USA, he discovered Santo Domingo - Dominican Republic. They have a Colombo Statue with all the reasons.
The first people in the Amerikas are Mongols over the Bering Strait and people from Indonesia, later Wikingos, maybe also Chinese people, all long time before Colombo.
Bro wasn't even the first European, the Norse beat him to it around the time Basil II was still alive
