Question: What incorrect term for the indigenous population originated with the first explorer to discover Africa and new land west of the continent that contains France?

the history of new zealand dates back at least 700 years to when it was discovered and settled by polynesians, who developed a distinct māori culture centred on kinship links and land. the first european explorer to sight new zealand was dutch navigator abel tasman on 13 december 1642. the dutch were also the first non-natives to explore and chart new zealand's coastline. captain james cook, who reached new zealand in october 1769 on the first of his three voyages, was the first european explorer to circumnavigate and map new zealand. from the late 18th century, the country was regularly visited by explorers and other sailors, missionaries, traders and adventurers. in 1840 the treaty of waitangi was signed between the british crown and various māori chiefs, bringing new zealand into the british empire and giving māori the same rights as british subjects. there was extensive british settlement throughout the rest of the century and into the early part of the next century. war and the imposition of a european economic and legal system led to most of new zealand's land passing from māori to pākehā (european) ownership, and most māori subsequently became impoverished. <SEP> Remembered for his numerous wars, he made France the leading European power. The monarchy reached its peak during the 17th century and the reign of Louis XIV. By turning powerful feudal lords into courtiers at the Palace of Versailles, Louis XIV's personal power became unchallenged. France became the most populous country in Europe and had tremendous influence over European politics, economy, and culture. French became the most-used language in diplomacy, science, literature and international affairs, and remained so until the 20th century. France obtained many overseas possessions in the Americas, Africa and Asia. Louis XIV also revoked the Edict of Nantes, forcing thousands of Huguenots into exile. <SEP> The Americas came to be known as the "West Indies", a name still used to refer to the islands of the Caribbean Sea. This led to the names "Indies" and "Indian", which implied some kind of racial or cultural unity among the aboriginal peoples of the Americas. This unifying concept, codified in law, religion, and politics, was not originally accepted by indigenous peoples but has been embraced by many over the last two centuries. [citation needed] Even though the term "Indian" does not include the Aleuts, Inuit, or Yupik peoples, these groups are considered indigenous peoples of the Americas. Application of the term "Indian" originated with Christopher Columbus, who, in his search for Asia, thought that he had arrived in the East Indies. <SEP> bermuda's modern black population contains more than one demographic group. although the number of residents born in africa is very small, it has tripled between 2000 and 2010 (this group also includes non-blacks). the majority of blacks in bermuda can be termed "bermudian blacks", whose ancestry dates back centuries between the 17th century and the end of slavery in 1834, bermuda's black population was self-sustaining, with its growth resulting largely from natural expansion. this contrasts to the enslaved blacks of the plantation colonies, who were subjected to conditions so harsh as to drop their birth rate below the death rate, and slaveholders in the united states and the west indies found it necessary to continue importing more enslaved blacks from africa until the end of slavery (the same had been true for the native americans that the africans had replaced on the new world plantations). the indigenous populations of many west indian islands, and much of the south-east of what is now the united states that had survived the 16th- and 17th-century epidemics of european-introduced diseases then became the victims of large-scale slave raiding, with much of the region completely depopulated. when the supply of indigenous slaves ran out, the slaveholders looked to africa). the ancestry of bermuda's black population is distinguished from that of the british west indian black population in two ways: firstly, the higher degree of european and native american admixture; secondly, the source of the african ancestry. <SEP> In 1492 the joint rulers conquered the Moorish kingdom of Granada, which had been providing Castile with African goods through tribute, and decided to fund Christopher Columbus's expedition in the hope of bypassing Portugal's monopoly on west African sea routes, to reach ``the Indies ''(east and south Asia) by travelling west. Portugal's neighbouring fellow Iberian rival, Castile, had begun to establish its rule over the Canary Islands, located off the west African coast, in 1402, but then became distracted by internal Iberian politics and the repelling of Islamic invasion attempts and raids through most of the 15th century. Only late in the century, following the unification of the crowns of Castile and Aragon and the completion of the reconquista, did an emerging modern Spain become fully committed to the search for new trade routes overseas. The Crown of Aragon had been an important maritime potentate in the Mediterranean, controlling territories in eastern Spain, southwestern France, major islands like Sicily, Malta, and the Kingdom of Naples and Sardinia, with mainland possessions as far as Greece. Twice before, in 1485 and 1488, Columbus had presented the project to king John II of Portugal, who rejected it.
