Well, the word “discovery” was once used to describe European contact with populated lands in the Americas...
Americas you say?
Amerigo Vespucci??? Just another real estate salesman.
Native naming of the continent
In 1977, the World Council of Indigenous Peoples (Consejo Mundial de Pueblos Indígenas) proposed using the term Abya Yala instead of “America” when referring to the continent. There are also names in other indigenous languages such as Ixachilan and Runa Pacha. Some scholars have picked up the term with a reference to the illegitimacy of colonialism.

And not one of the SOBs paid anything for the naming rights!!!
BS artists, the whole lot of them.
Ha! Spanish!
Any organization referring to itself as Consejo Mundial de Pueblos Indígenas needs to first decolonize itself before deciding to wade in on what the proper name of the Americas is.
