One can't 'discover' lands that were already populated. He may have made contact with the Caribs and other islanders, but discovery....not so much. The Norsemen had already made it to Newfoundland. There's some evidence that Polynesians hit the coast of S. America.
If telling the t***h about the relations of the Europeans and Natives is 'trashing'...so be it.
