The admiral named the island San Salvador (today it is known as Watling Island), and upon his arrival, the Ciboneys, Taínos, Arawaks, Guanahatabeys and other indigenous peoples would see their ancestral ways of life altered forever.
En agradecimiento el almirante la nombró San Salvador y hoy se denomina Watling Island, y cerró una época en la vida de los siboneyes, taínos, arawaks, guanahatabeyes y otros grupos nativos, que vieron interrumpidos sus ancestrales modos de vida.
