For those who may not be aware or who are willfully ignorant when Christopher Columbus was lost at see and finally saw land he travelled along the different islands observing who was on the islands and how they were dressed. He choose Ayiti Kiskeya Bohio because they had bits of gold and crystals on them unlike the other indigenous ppl who were naked on the other islands. He purposely came to rob and steal once he understood he was not in India where they had traded and dealt with Spanish, Italian and people from that hemisphere. He invaded like a parasite that would eventually lead to genocide and a systematic decimation of Indigenous people all around the world. This genocide would initiate the enslavement of African people purely for commerce and the enrichment of their nations. The Taino Arawak people on the islands of Kiskeya Ayiti Bohio paid a heavy cost of death, enslavement, servitude, rape, brutalization, oppression, murder and decline. Some survived by escaping and others by suicide. We do not forget. #ancestorworship #firstcontact #ayitikiskeyabohio #reclaimingourhistoryandpower #disruptthenarrative #dismantlethepatriarchy #knowyourhistory #dominicanhaitian #haitiandominican #dominicanslovehaitians #indigenouswisdom #ancestralhealing #oyaspeaks https://www.instagram.com/p/B1bRJZDFVxB/?igshid=1alj1mhk85gk
