home search help worldguide ... Postcards Haiti History The earliest known inhabitants of Haiti reached the island about 2600 BC, using huge dugout canoes that allowed them to ride the current from South America and the southern tip of the Lesser Antilles north and west into the Greater Antilles. They were primarily nomadic hunter-gatherers who used stone tools and who left little behind for archaeologists to examine. A second group, often referred to as the Salanoids or ancient Arawaks, reached Hispaniola about 250 BC. The group, easily traced because of their distinctive ceramics, spread throughout the Antilles. A third migration, from Venezuela, swept through the Antilles about 2000 years ago, and by AD 700 occupied Haiti and most of the surrounding islands. This society's complex hierarchical structure allowed for specialization in fishing, worship, art and farming Cassava and sweet potato. They called themselves the Taino (friendly people), and an estimated 400,000 of them lived on Hispanola when Italian adventurer Christopher Columbus got off the ship to greet them. Folks on another island had told Columbus that there was gold to be found there, and the anxious Italian set off in the night to find it, accidently dashing the to pieces on one of Hispaniola's famed coral reefs.

The pattern of settlement took the French south in the 18th cent. and society became stratified into Frenchmen, Creoles, freed blacks, and black slaves. Between the blacks and the French and Creoles were the mulattoes, whose social status was indeterminate. When French-descended Creole planters sought to prevent mulatto representation in the French National Assembly and in local assemblies in Saint-Dominque, the mulattoes revolted under the leadership of Vincent . This rebellion destroyed the rigid structure of Haitian society. The blacks formed guerrilla bands led by Toussaint L'Ouverture , a former slave who had been made an officer of the French forces on Hispaniola.

BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. GEOGRAPHY GOVERNMENT BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. GEOGRAPHY GOVERNMENT ... HAITI Haiti occupies part of the island of Hispaniola, which was 'discovered' by Columbus in 1492. The indigenous tribe, the Arawaks, were either murdered, worked to death, or killed off by European diseases against which they had no defenses. The french got control of the western third of the island in 1697 because French pirates so relentlessly beleaguered the area. Slaves made the region economically advantageous to the French. A slave revolt, however, resulted in abolition of slavery. Independence was declared in 1804, but political stability would be a long time coming for the country. From the mid-1800s through the mid-1900s, the US began to exert considerable influence in Haiti. For nearly two decades, in fact, Haiti was under US military occupation (1915-194). In 1957, Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier seized control and commenced a repressive rule of the country. His son, Jean-Claude ("Baby Doc") came to power in 1971. under the Duvalier's most of the better-educated and wealthy citizens fled to more hospitable locales. Consequently, Haiti was left both impoverished and with the most illiteracy in the Western Hemisphere. In 1986, Baby Doc was deposed by the military which tried to empower a series of repressive and incompetent governments. In 1990, democratic elections were held. Rev. Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a Roman Catholic priest, won but was overthrown in another military coup. The US gave Aristide support in the form of suspending aid to Haiti, which only worked to further hurt the most impoverished in the population. The military junta proceeded to kill at least 3,000 of Aristide's supporters. In 1994, the US invaded Haiti and restored Aristide to power. In 1995, elections were held with 28 parties vying for votes. It was the first peaceful presidential election since independence. US troops were withdrawn in 1999.

Enter your email address: The Haiti Project - History of Haiti A tiny tropical island sits in the Caribbean, decorated with palm trees and colorful hibiscus flowers. Its mountains stand majestically looking down upon sandy beaches and green valleys. From afar it appears as any other island one might encounter sailing the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Yet, as we draw closer we notice a difference. There are no tourist resorts dotting the coasts, no high rise hotels with sand volleyball courts and marimba bands. This is Haiti, this is different. If the land could speak it would tell of tragedy and violence, of abuse and bloodshed, of power and greed. Why does the country stand apart from its neighbors? The answer lies in the turbulent history of this tiny nation. The Early Years Christopher Columbus landed on the tiny island he called, "La isla espanola" in December 1492 (The name was later shortened to Hispanola). The island was inhabited by local Arawak Indians who referred to their home as "Hayti", or mountainous land. In keeping with imperialistic ideology, the Spaniards used and abused the native Arawaks to the point of near extinction.

Haiti HISTORY: First discovered by Columbus and colonised in the 17th century by the French, Haiti gained independence in 1804 (seceding from the neighbouring Dominican Republic) after a 12-year uprising by African-descended slaves. During the rest of the 19th century, Haiti was under the control of a succession of dictators, none of whom had the wherewithal to resolve the conflict between the mulattos, who held political power, and the blacks. America took control early in the 20th century, sending troops in at one stage to support the regime. After 30 years as a US protectorate, Haiti returned to indigenous rule. Elections in 1957 brought to power Dr Francis Duvalier, a country physician, who subsequently presided over one of the world's most authoritarian regimes. With the help of a private militia known as the Tontons Macoutes (the Creole phrase for 'bogeymen'), political dissent was systematically eradicated and opponents jailed or murdered. The traditional Voodoo religion was widely abused in order to intimidate critics. Duvalier (commonly known as 'Papa Doc' died in 1971, handing the leadership over to his son Jean Claude ('Baby Doc') who ruled the country for the next 15 years in the same manner as his father. Half-hearted efforts – such as the elections in which all opposition candidates were arrested on polling day – were made to present a more acceptable face to the outside world, primarily in order to secure foreign aid. Despite the constant attentions of the Tontons, political opposition continued to grow, crucially within the army; in the spring of 1986 these elements finally turned against the regime and forced Duvalier's flight from the country.

When Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492, he renamed the island La Isla Espanola (Spanish for 'The Spanish Island') in honor of his Spanish sponsors. The name later evolved into the name Hispaniola. It was then renamed Saint-Domingue by the colonial French after the Treaty of Ryswick with Spain. The French, later, called it the Pearl of the Antilles, to mark it as one of the richest and most productive (sugar, coffee, indigo and cotton) colonies of France. And today, once again, the original name (Haïti) was returned to the western side of the island after the slave rebellion, led by Louverture , overthrew the French. On January 1, 1804, Haïti became the western hemisphere’s second Republic as well as the first black Republic. "Discovery."
