He took their wealth, such as gold, etc, and made the natives slaves. And he brought back the riches of the Caribbean to Spain. Columbus never knew that he had stumbled across an undiscovered land, and instead thought he had reached India, where he was originally going for, and so he called the natives "Indians."
