GPT-4o mini · Answer

Jeannette Armstrong’s perspective on Christopher Columbus contrasts sharply with that of many historians and mainstream media. She argues that rather than being a "savior" for Indigenous people, Columbus sparked a long-lasting genocide of both cultures and individuals. This viewpoint is powerfully expressed in her poem "History Lesson," where she uses stark diction to emphasize that Columbus "[mutilated] whole civilizations" (Armstrong, lines 36-37). Unlike mainstream narratives that often use vague language, Armstrong's specific word choices leave little room for misinterpretation of Columbus's true intentions. Ultimately, she interprets his actions as a deliberate act of cultural and physical genocide against Indigenous communities.
