Indios en Republica Dominicana?

[mariaobetsanov]

When I was in school in Licey Abajo there was a set of books regarding the end of Indians tribes and the reason for their extermination. There was a great picture of Anacaona the great war leader who let the bribes against the colonist. These books had picture and illustration showing the Indians. Great illustrations! See if they are still at the school. Anyone wanting to know Ask for Dona Casilda she was the teacher that lives down the road from the school when the books were given to the school. it also States the Padre de la Casas, introduced the idea of black slaves in order to save the remaining Tianos, but old world deseases, conbine with segregation of the sexes, was used by the land grants holders. The school is by the new Santiago Airport. Across from the entrance La Estancia De Los Avarez.
I hope these books are at the school. Fifty years after the colonisation there where no native indian left. When I was there there where always rumors that Los Salcadillos caves, and that there where Indians hiding and that drum beats could be heard, but I think that was water sound in the caves, Echos in caves amplify sound.

Ok in parts:

Taino indians did in fact avoid having kids so their offsprings wouldn't be under the brutal slavery they had to live everyday, the black slaves that were placed in the island, were employed on the western fields of the Hispaniola meaning Haiti nowadays.

The Taino indian race was not wiped out in total but in such a large number that getting able to eye one was like winning the lotto nowadays, it's relatively possible to find women that carry the Taino indian blood and looks in the RD today, as a matter of fact I know of a couple of them, I was married to one!
