http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanches - Yes, these guys and gals (of archaic Berber descent).
With a POD of your own choosing, but no earlier than 1000 AD, try to figure out a way for the Guanche natives to survive as a distinct Canary Islands ethnicity to the modern day, alongside European settlers.
I don't mind Spain or Portugal or whoever taking over the islands and subjugating the natives as in OTL (frankly, it's bound to happen sooner or later). What I'm aiming at here is saving the Guanches from de facto extinction as an ethnicity (including their dialects, now considered dead languages with incomplete documentation).
