Christopher Columbus is considered the discoverer of the America’s though he did it purely by accident. He was trying to find a passage east to the Indies when he bumped into the “West Indies” on his way. When he landed on the coast of the Americas, he met the natives and called them Indians.

As a sign of peace towards the explorer's, the Indians presented to a gold crown to Columbus. Columbus took the offering as a sign of power and authority.
