As students learned in their history books, settlers who came to the new world took land from the Native Americans. Christopher Columbus was no different.
In this picture, Columbus is portrayed as a real-estate agent. He is basically trying to "buy" the land from the Native American people. The picture adds a comedic feel to the overall visual. In the text, there was a part where it says Columbus was actually friendly to the Taino Indians at one point. "Apparently friendly relations with the Taino Indians on the island of Hispaniola in 1492..." In the visual, Columbus approaches the Indian people in a nice way. This shows how Columbus first makes the Indians trust him, making them believe that he is no harm to them. Once he gets to the point where he has the Indian's full trust, he turns against them. Unfortunately for Columbus, that didn't happen to him at that particular time.
