is bonao a cibaeno province? i seen pictures of bonao and all the people are dark, so is it more part of el sur? and don't show me the stupid political map because they include non-cibaeno areas like the coasts and border towns
Bonao is considered by many to the the southern border of the Cibao.
Essentially, the Cibao runs from the Saman? Bay to Monte Cristi, between the Septentrional Mountains and the Central Mountains.
There is no political division known as the Cibao.

geographically el cibao is the northern half of the country but culturally it's most of the northern interior. the people in bonao seem to look like ppl from the coasts
I remember 30 years ago when in Santo Domingo people deserved on my Cibaeno ascendancy, Santiageros, Veganos and Mocanos used to be light skinned but no anymore 50 years past Trujillo Dominican and Haitian mixing is changing our history.

Yes, Bonao is part of El Cibao. Take a look:
Cibao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
El Cibao is twice the seize of Puerto Rico, and just a bit smaller than Jamaica and Puerto Rico Combine.
thats a political map, culturally el cibao is the northern interior and apparently bonao is a part of the true cibaeno culture. the true cibao is like the same size of puerto rico or a little smaller
basically

Sammy Sosa's wife is from Bonao, and she is very lightskinned so is her sister. Most of the people from Bonao I have met here in Florida are lighter. BUT the Haitian's coming in bring in a darker hue so maybe they are Dominican's of Haitian descent mixing with the locals as said b4.

I wouldn't blame the Haitians for the darkening of the visible population in the Cibao, while they obviously do contribute, most dark skin people in Cibao towns tend to be either direct migrants or descendants of migrants from the southern provinces (Barahona, Azua, Bahoruco, etc). They are not Haitians, but full fledge Dominicans.they need to be deported before they assimilate completely!
and sorry, i didnt know that about bonao. due to all of the haitians now alot of the urban areas of el cibao are full of dark people
The north coast is very much part of the Cibao. Puerto Plata (and to a lesser extent Sos?a) have been affected by massive immigration from both, Dominican sure?os and Haitians; but much of the rest of the north coast is still predominantly native peoples with Cibao culture well ingrained in them. Even judging by skin color, the people of towns like Gaspar Hern?ndez and Cabrera, on average, fall in the mid-brown to white range. Even in Puerto Plata itself, despite the sharp population changes due to immigration, there is quite a mix of people and the native Puerto Plata culture is still very much cibae?a.cibaenopuro said:the northern coasts are not el cibao culturally and if im not mistaken they consider themselves to be lineros (from la linea)
