For my Haitian Christians... HAITIANS Haiti was founded in 1697 but it is important to understand the history of Haiti prior to Christopher Columbus since the Africans are not indigenous to Haiti, Early History Haiti has a uniquely tragic history. Natural disasters, poverty, racial discord, and political instability have plagued the small country throughout its history. Before the arrival of Europeans, Arawak (also known as Taino) and Carib Indians inhabited the island of Hispaniola. Although researchers debate the total pre-Columbian population (estimates range from 60,000 to 600,000), the detrimental impact of colonization is well documented. Disease and brutal labor practices nearly annihilated the Indian population within 50 years of Columbus’s arrival. So are the black Hebrews twelve tribes of referring to since original indigenous have practically been wiped out.
