The media often showcases modern injustices, but the roots of systemic oppression trace back centuries to events like Columbus's arrival in 1492. His expeditions brought slavery, genocide, and the near-total annihilation of the Taino people, reducing their population from millions to mere hundreds within decades. These atrocities, carried out under the guise of faith and civilization, set a precedent for the widespread extermination and marginalization of Native Americans, whose cultures remain overshadowed to this day. The legacy of Columbus's "discovery" exemplifies the destructive impact of colonialism masked by religious and imperial motives. This idea that these people were below or lesser is what I think Colombus would call "Native Sin".
This is the first of a series of Six deadly sins of colonization through North and South America. The Seventh sin, we will talk about that later.
