December 5th 1492, the first wave of virus landed on a large island in the region of the western Atlantic Ocean that later came to be known as the Caribbean. It was inhabited by the Taíno and Arawakan people, who variously called their island Hayti (Ayiti) Bohio Kiskeya (Quisqueya). #ayitikiskeyabohio #akomicsart #ajiayabombe #tainos #arawak 🐚🪶
