Dominican Republic | Republica Dominicana


Background:
The Dominican Republic forms the eastern two-thirds, and Haiti the remainder of the Hispaniola island, formerly known as Santo Domingo.

In pre-Columbian times the island was inhabited by Tainos, an Arawak-speaking people. In 1492 C. Columbus discovered the island and claimed it immediately for the Spanish Crown. It was then occupied by the usual ruling forces of that time, the Spanish and the French. The not-so-friendly colonizers reduced the Taino population from about 1 million to about 500 within 50 years.
Today the Dominican Republic is inhabited mostly by people of mixed European and African origins. The African heritage is reflected most noticeably in the music, the Merengue. The country is a main tourist destination in the region.

The scene represents, according to a very personal interpretation of the painter, the first expedition to the Indies of Christopher Columbus (1451/1456?-Valladolid, 1506) and his arrival at Guanahaní on 12 October 1492, baptizing this land with the name of San Salvador.
73 years later, the Spanish founded St. Augustine in Florida, the oldest continuously occupied settlement of Europeans (and their slaves) in the United States.

Indigenous People of the Dominican Republic



Indigenous peoples of the Caribbean: Taíno People
Taino Indigenous people.
Image: JazzManJr.


Before Christopher Columbus 'discovered' the island on Christmas Eve 1492, the island of Hispaniola was inhabited by indigenous people known as Taínos, an Arawak subgroup.

The word Taíno means "good" or "noble" and reflects the lifestyle that these people led on a daily basis. They were peaceful, generous and cooperative.

However, after the departure of Christopher Columbus, the Spanish settlers found that they had come into conflict with the Taíno. The Spanish settlers killed many Taínos, while others simply died from transmitted diseases. Those who survived were forced to work brutally in agriculture and mining. [DR Embassy UK]


United Confederation of Taíno People

The United Confederation of Taíno People (UCTP) is an indigenous representative institution established in 1998 to promote the self-determination and protection of the human rights, culture, traditions, and sacred lands of Taíno and other Caribbean Indigenous Peoples.


Wikipedia W Taíno
The Taíno were indigenous people belonging to the Arawak in the Antilles - before the arrival of the Caribs. Between the 8th and 15th centuries, Caribs migrated into the territories, later called the Caribbean by Spaniards, and harassed the Taíno in the Antillean islands, who had migrated there earlier.
The Taíno were victims of slavery and forced labor under the Spanish colonizers and, moreover, of introduced diseases against which they had no defenses.
