ABOUT HAITI

Haiti is in the western one-third of the island of Hispaniola between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. This small, tropical country is west of the Dominican Republic and is south of the island of Cuba.

The land is mountainous. Hayti is the Indian name for the country and means “land of the mountains.” The mountain peaks reach over 8,000 feet (2,400 meters). The country lies in the path of many hurricanes and in 2008 faced destruction from four tropical storms. In 2010, thousands of people were killed and the presidential palace in Port-au-Prince was destroyed in a 7.0 earthquake.

PEOPLE & CULTURE

The people in the north have a Creole accent and are influenced by their Dominican Republic neighbors. The population is 95% black and 5% white. Haitian parents are strict, but are very affectionate. The extended family often lives with the family in tight quarters.

Haitians attend folk dances and voodoo ceremonies. Half the population practices voodoo, which is a mixture of African slave traditions and Catholic beliefs. Carnival and New Year’s Day are the biggest holidays for most Haitians.

The Haitian diet is made up of the local vegetables and fruits, along with some spicy meat dishes.
