The "real" interaction is finally being taught and put out there for the public to read about, and it was not this perfect picture of discovery and building relationships.  Christopher Columbus along with many other explorers abused the native peoples by raping, murdering, and subjecting them to their way of life.  Also Europeans brought with them disease that was foreign to the natives so for the most part many of them died which depleted their populations.  It was a discovery and allowed for more exploration and the creation of the "new world", but if we look at this from a human point of view, it was not right or fair for the natives to be treated like that, and in the end as a people do we want to think discovery is more important than human rights?
