Every time I meet someone from Haiti they get really excited hearing I’m from Africa. It’s like meeting a long lost brother or sister. Such nice people.
Yes my grandmother said her Haitians parents told her we are from benin and republic of congo yes because her mother's mother's pass the information on generation to generation and the village they came from is all into fufu okra goat dry fish they kept the way the ancestors food culture.. guess what since growing up I love my African and I fit right into it trust me
Respect Haitians. 219 years of punishment for rising up against the French. We white people enjoy making a mockery of Haiti for a situation we created. Shameful.
As a Haitian born, raised in America in her toddler years, I long of Africa. I feel my spirit was taken from there and traveled throughout the Caribbean and Americas. Viv Le Africa Viv Ayiti
as a black man from the continent so called Africa. 🌍 Specifically Cameroon. I want to welcome you my Haitians people to the continent so called Africa. The home of our ancestors. The home of you and my ancestors. You are truly welcome to reconnect with your roots. You are welcome to visit, stay and more. The kings and people will see you and be happy.
Thanks for this EPIC clip. I am a Nigerian (Yoruba) and I have always wanted to know more about Haiti and other countries in the world where black people are found...When I think back to the lies and distorted stories being told in the History books when I was growing up in Nigeria, and is STILL being told today, I feel like weeping . Africa MUST re-write its history to reflect our history,culture,traditions and not that of those who colonised us and are STILL doing so. .❤❤.LONG LIVE AFRICA /Africans /those of African Origin❤❤. Much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ to you ALL wherever and in which part of the Globe 🌎 you may be .....
That's is exactly what happened my Haitian grandmother told me that her mothers..mother told her that her mothers... mother's...mother told her that they came from french benin and republic of congo, on our side but most Haitians do come from Igbo land and benin also and of course other parts it's in history in Haiti that Haitians from also from Nigeria it's in their history we learn about it
And me a a Haitian sister grew up eating just like Africans eat I kid you not I was raised on panded yam okra dried fish yes ooo...goat pepper soup all that good food we may cook it a little bit different but we give our food tastes that you will be able to eat

To be honest, I didn't really know much about Haiti until I watched a video recently on UA-cam when I heard about the gang violence Kenya is coming to solve. I was shocked at how the accent and behaviour is very similar to African francophone countries like Ivory Coast, Gabon etc My girlfriend was shocked to when I showed her I am hoping we can unite in Africa and provide a comfortable place for all Africans in the diaspora. Love from Cameroon ❤
Africa will never unite because of all those various tribes hate, fight and kill each other since the dawn of time. They sold each other into slavery to the Arabs (remember Tippu Tib) And look at Sudan, look at what happened in Rwanda and Sierra Leone, Hutus and Tutsis have murdered each other by the millions do to tribal wars.
I went to school in Giyana in the 70’s and 80’s and I took Caribbean History classes for at least two years. African history is part of Caribbean history. We also learnt about African American history. Some of my text books in high school were: The Making of The West Indies and The People who Came books 1,2 and 3. Then in Literature, we read about the Maroons of Jamaica etc. Caribbean History and Literature classes DO teach our history. I live in the US but bought those text books for my children to use for research purposes and writing papers while they were attending school in the United States.

So you are Haitian, when, how, who picked your people from West Africa,and carried you down to the island? You must not hear that in the 1800s, colonizers put people on boats and shipped them to Africa. Just like Liberian who were called the American Indians. Traditionally, every other people's experience.
I am Nigerian but anytime l meet an African diaspora am filled with emotions and reflections consequent upon the Trans-atlantic slave trade. My consolation as an oppressed and brutalized African is that today, while we stand tall, our oppressors live in shame.
Your oppressors? Who are they ? Oh ! You mean Europeans ? Well as a European I was not around at the time of your oppression... And you were oppressed by .. whom ? Muslims from Sokoto who raided South of Nigeria in the 19th ( they occupied part of Yoruba land till Abeokuta if I am not mistaken) ? Bro ! It is the ELITES that opress us all, till this very day. Please are you racist against Europeans ?
@@serenadesilhout 😆we are not African yo! we was never were, we don't even look alike. there NO family or tribe I can claim .my great grandmother never mentioned shyt about Africa or slave ships
Haitians look mostly Fon and Kongo. Fon is largely where Voodoo comes from. Black people from Louisiana look Fon and Congo, too. Haitians are very beautiful people and first people to overthrow their oppressors to become the first black republic. I consider them extra special.
Fon people are the basis of Haitian Ancestry. The Kongos came later due to civil war and were mostly placed in the Northern region of Haiti. The Southern region have higher Ancestry from present day Nigeria. My father's side is Kongo, specifically mbundu, and my mother's side is Fon/Yoruba/Igbo/Edo. My mom side of the family have roots on Southern Haiti and my Father's side of the family have roots in Northern Haiti. Most diaspora can trace to many African tribes but certain regions will have more of a certain tribe than others. It wouldn't make sense and say Haitians are ___, when we vary by region. Same can be said about African Americans.

You wrong about that most Haitian came from Kongo kingdom followed by fon it’s doesn’t mean if they got voodoo the majority ain’t Kongo it’s just voodoo Kongo was most slaves in Haitian

I love this series and the other content on this channel. Thank you for documenting our history. I don’t care what critiques people have about us - I will always be proud to be Haitian, and all that connects us to around the world. 😌 Also - what’s the name of the outro song?
Haitians are a strong people who fought against all odds to achieve their freedom - 1804. I will never stop respecting Haiti and their resistance to the ugly history against them.
I'm going to watch this 3 or 3 more times to take this all in. Excellent historical piece, love the paintings/portrayals. The African people are the most enduring and beautiful people in the world, in my opinion.
We own the world! The evil false Europeans have tried to annihilate us for centuries, but it won’t work! Black lives all over the globe SHALL ARISE AGAIN TO THEIR RIGHTFUL PLACE OF PROSPERITY AND SUCCESS!!
The basic fact is that the Yoruba people never firget their culture and tradition wherever they find themselves, However, This make them to be identified easily anywhere around the whole world, Conclusively, More Yoruba people can be found mostly in Bahia in Brazil.

I always say that the Jamaican and the Haitian people are the only one in the Caribbean know exactly where they come from in Africa. have you noticed that when they go back they go to a particular area.
Haiti and Jamaica was already populated with Black tribes before Columbus invaded Africans been in the Americas for thousands of years, have you heard of the Olmecs Mande or Mende's that erected the first civilization in the Americas, Blacks been in the Americas 10,000 years before Mongoloids crossed the Bering Strait and Blacks are the first peoples that populated the globe, even the first rulers of the Chinese dynasties were Black and we have an ancient history that extends beyond Africa

The serpentine cosmic divinity aka Nile valley culture was everywhere from the kushites in India and Southern Asia and the wooly haired Buddha to the “americas” with the Afro, braids, and locs having olmecs.

Yes, but although the Moors and Israel looked alike, we are not exactly the same people. We are both Shemites, but the Moors would have been the children of Ishmael and also the children of Keturah who was from North Africa and had children with Abraham. Ishmael and Abraham descendants would have carried E1b1b. This is why although there was peace between the Moors and the Brews for a long period of time, there became a division between these two groups eventually. We are both descendants of Abraham (but only the Moors who carried E1b1 downstream because there were also J carriers and other genetic mixture among the Moors due to mixing with Japhetic groups).
I’m Haitian and I keep on dreaming of a place that I’ve never been before I would really like to know which part of Africa I’m from. Oh boy that would bring me joy!
Haitians mostly come from Benin Republic the place where voodoo is the national religion. People from Haiti also migrated too New Orleans a place where voodoo is also very present
It was mostly WHITE/Mixed ppl from Saint Dominque who fled to New Orleans after the revolution. And its been debunked that a Haitian discovered Chicago. Why do Haitians obsessively try and claim New Orleans history? The only thing New Orleans and Haiti have in common is a common French colonist history. Why not also claim Martinque?
@@joelhungerford8388 very wrong 🤦🏽♀️ how are they backwards if the country itself is corrupt by politicians and other government officials. Please know what ur talking abt before leaving ignorant ass comments 🤷🏽♀️
I love Haitians. My cousin in-law is Haiti. She is very beautiful, smart and peaceful. My best friend is Haitian, and we Liberians mix with Haitians a lot. I love their culture and they will let you know they are Africans 💪🏽
Haitians have a real energy for success. I have two Haitian friends who are surgeons here in the US. Then another who just arrived through hardship and he works his butt off in an entry level landscaping job, he only thinks of his wife and son and can never stop.
Im American and I always enjoy listening to these stories but its important to study on your on as well because alot of historical facts were left out about the slave trade and also the Igbo people,Spain,and Portugal. They didnt mention anything about judaism, being a huge religion on the west coast of Africa at one point in time. And how the European Royals sends Priest to get a control over them, and to teach Christianity. It’s important to study and investigate because history is written threw one mans eyes but if you have multiple eyes seeing and saying the same thing you have truth .❤
It was the Haitian Revolution which Freed our People from Slavery in the 1800’s. We must someday acknowledge our Haitian Brothers and Sisters for being from The Biblical Tribe of Juda, as they fought back then for Israelites Freedom, so did they Fight back the Europeans in the 1800’s and Freed Israelites again for the Last time.
Haitian and all other Caribbean islands ancestors were seafarers from various locations in west Africa that traded with native Americans in North America.

I was born in Haiti 🇭🇹 grow up in America 🇺🇸 96 African by DNA 🧬 45 % congolais 30% guinéen and a mixture of other region I can’t wait to make my way to my ancestors land Africa.
This is a great video.. as a Dominican American I believe that all Caribbean people are mixed and they need to reclaim their ancestry.. as a Dominican I have taíno, black and Spanisard in my family that’s the reason my family members all have different complexion.. 🤔🤗
No one really knows exactly where in Africa Haitians are from, but it doesnt matter.. We are all still strong Africans from the motherland. Its sad that they divided.
That simply means that your ancestors has been trying to tell you things through your intuition. And I believe they would be very happy if you visit your ancestral land.
Why is voodoo so strong in the Haitian culture in comparison to the rest of the Caribbean and the United states? Is it because they had a mix of several different tribes? Somewhat complex, but very Interesting indeed. Peace and many blessings.
It could be because the practice of slavery in the Americas started in Hayti and that's where the original prisoners of war from Africa, the Americas and the Caribbean (the kings, queens, chiefs, warriors, etc) with the sacred knowledge were sent. The 21 Nachons/Nations/Tribes which included the Taino became one at the Bwa Kayiman ceremony.
Lol in comparison to most of Africa if not all, they really take it to different levels, they got Africans thinking damn calm down child you do that shit in private.
@@thestsconsulting8968 lol they didn’t but we respected them becaused they endured Our trials and tribulations also and afrikans been in the America’s before the transatlantic slave trade
Africans were being taken to the middle east before the transatlantic slave trade became a thing. Thus the reason there are black Arabs in Saudi Arabia nowadays. Awesome video, love learning about Hatian history, my grandfather came from Haiti to Dom Rep.
Transatlantic slave trade was mainly the west Africans and central Africans they were enslaved to the united states, south America, the Caribbeans... while Arab slave trade affected few east Africans mostly Kenyans they were taken to Arab countries.they weren't as many as transatlantic slave trade that affected west Africans and central Africans..these two slavery periods are very different.happend different times . your comment to this video not needed
@@karine-ela I’m pretty sure the comment section is free for all of us so long as we keep it respectful. You’re not telling me anything I don’t know already. The video creator tried to make it sound like the history of slavery started with the transatlantic slave trade, thus my comment about previous slavery history connected to Africa.
Facts and that’s need more light shined on it because I see how they love to act is if they didn’t come in to the motherland and did what the European people did to us the Arabs did it way before and forced there religion and over ways of life on us
Every time I meet someone from Haiti they get really excited hearing I’m from Africa. It’s like meeting a long lost brother or sister. Such nice people.

I love this series and the other content on this channel. Thank you for documenting our history. I don’t care what critiques people have about us - I will always be proud to be Haitian, and all that connects us to around the world. 😌
Also - what’s the name of the outro song?
Haitians are a strong people who fought against all odds to achieve their freedom - 1804. I will never stop respecting Haiti and their resistance to the ugly history against them.
Yes. Big respect to the resilience of the Haitians 💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
We are still fighting Colonizers
We both are brothers
I Love Africa such as much
I love Haiti 🇭🇹
I'm going to watch this 3 or 3 more times to take this all in. Excellent historical piece, love the paintings/portrayals. The African people are the most enduring and beautiful people in the world, in my opinion.
We own the world! The evil false Europeans have tried to annihilate us for centuries, but it won’t work! Black lives all over the globe SHALL ARISE AGAIN TO THEIR RIGHTFUL PLACE OF PROSPERITY AND SUCCESS!!
Wyclef Jean Ancestral DNA shows his 70% Yoruba Westt Africa Nigeria 🇳🇬 I understand better now .
The basic fact is that the Yoruba people never firget their culture and tradition wherever they find themselves, However, This make them to be identified easily anywhere around the whole world, Conclusively, More Yoruba people can be found mostly in Bahia in Brazil.
He still looks the Yoruba people in Nigeria
@@2b4d more Yoruba people are in the united states of America
@@karine-elaNo, there are not. Hardly any Yoruba came to America.

I met a lot of Haitians here in the States, great people. Deep down, I think they're from Africa.
They're actually from Africa. During the transatlantic slave trade
They're Africans people
Thanks for the great history of Haïti.
This is so emotional for me. I hope I can find my ancestral home before I die❤
You will sis come to Benin Togo you will feel at home.
we love where we came from and very proud
I always say that the Jamaican and the Haitian people are the only one in the Caribbean know exactly where they come from in Africa. have you noticed that when they go back they go to a particular area.
Haiti and Jamaica was already populated with Black tribes before Columbus invaded
Africans been in the Americas for thousands of years, have you heard of the Olmecs Mande or Mende's that erected the first civilization in the Americas, Blacks been in the Americas 10,000 years before Mongoloids crossed the Bering Strait and Blacks are the first peoples that populated the globe, even the first rulers of the Chinese dynasties were Black and we have an ancient history that extends beyond Africa
@@GaryTisdaleFungkSta1 whats your source? And don't say THEY CAME BEFORE COLUMBUS‼️
@@akiliNegus the olmecs. The serpentine cosmic divinity aka Nile valley culture was everywhere from the kushites in India and Southern Asia and the wooly haired Buddha to the “americas” with the Afro, braids, and locs having olmecs. Naga negus and nigi is like the three different “n-words” we called ourselves in fellowship same way niggas say nigga. On my granny

I heard about the moorish connection and a lot of slaves actually coming from Spain after the Spanish Inquisition.
Yes, but although the Moors and Israel looked alike, we are not exactly the same people. We are both Shemites, but the Moors would have been the children of Ishmael and also the children of Keturah who was from North Africa and had children with Abraham. Ishmael and Abraham descendants would have carried E1b1b. This is why although there was peace between the Moors and the Brews for a long period of time, there became a division between these two groups eventually. We are both descendants of Abraham (but only the Moors who carried E1b1 downstream because there were also J carriers and other genetic mixture among the Moors due to mixing with Japhetic groups).
I’m Haitian and I keep on dreaming of a place that I’ve never been before I would really like to know which part of Africa I’m from. Oh boy that would bring me joy!
Haitians mostly come from Benin Republic the place where voodoo is the national religion. People from Haiti also migrated too New Orleans a place where voodoo is also very present
Also Chicago!
So that's why they are backwards
It was mostly WHITE/Mixed ppl from Saint Dominque who fled to New Orleans after the revolution. And its been debunked that a Haitian discovered Chicago. Why do Haitians obsessively try and claim New Orleans history? The only thing New Orleans and Haiti have in common is a common French colonist history. Why not also claim Martinque?
@@joelhungerford8388 very wrong 🤦🏽♀️ how are they backwards if the country itself is corrupt by politicians and other government officials. Please know what ur talking abt before leaving ignorant ass comments 🤷🏽♀️
Haitians come from multiple tribes in West and Central Africa. Not Benin Republic only.
I love Haitians. My cousin in-law is Haiti. She is very beautiful, smart and peaceful. My best friend is Haitian, and we Liberians mix with Haitians a lot. I love their culture and they will let you know they are Africans 💪🏽
Haitians have a real energy for success. I have two Haitian friends who are surgeons here in the US. Then another who just arrived through hardship and he works his butt off in an entry level landscaping job, he only thinks of his wife and son and can never stop.

A black Ethiopia how beautiful 😍
Interesting history,i have just subscribed to your channel
Im American and I always enjoy listening to these stories but its important to study on your on as well because alot of historical facts were left out about the slave trade and also the Igbo people,Spain,and Portugal. They didnt mention anything about judaism, being a huge religion on the west coast of Africa at one point in time. And how the European Royals sends Priest to get a control over them, and to teach Christianity. It’s important to study and investigate because history is written threw one mans eyes but if you have multiple eyes seeing and saying the same thing you have truth .❤
Excellent keep up the good work🔥
I love and respect them for the rebellion against their captives ❤
Same
It was the Haitian Revolution which Freed our People from Slavery in the 1800’s.
We must someday acknowledge our Haitian Brothers and Sisters for being from The Biblical Tribe of Juda, as they fought back then for Israelites Freedom, so did they Fight back the Europeans in the 1800’s and Freed Israelites again for the Last time.
That is the Igbo spirit
I respect them for kicking out the slave masters or plantation owners or colonizers.❤❤❤
You got a new subscriber in me buddy, great video beautiful looking people
Awesome content, You have a new subscriber!
Haitian and all other Caribbean islands ancestors were seafarers from various locations in west Africa that traded with native Americans in North America.

My haitian mother tribe is fulani and wolof for the most part you didjtn mentioned them once
There were so many ethnicities captured. Its hard to remember and mention all in a short video. I do understand your concern
Those two ethnic groups are predominantly Muslim and are credited with bringing the first Islamic influence to the Americas.
@@mustafanur4707and they should leave Islam because that’s not our authentic religion
Je suis Haytienne mes ancêtres vient de l'Afrique et j'en suis fière
Awesome history teaching 😃👍👍
I was born in Haiti 🇭🇹 grow up in America 🇺🇸 96 African by DNA 🧬 45 % congolais 30% guinéen and a mixture of other region I can’t wait to make my way to my ancestors land Africa.
If I may ask, what dna test did you use? I would love to find my ancestral home
This is a great video.. as a Dominican American I believe that all Caribbean people are mixed and they need to reclaim their ancestry.. as a Dominican I have taíno, black and Spanisard in my family that’s the reason my family members all have different complexion.. 🤔🤗
When I did my DNA testing a big percentage came from the Congo. The people from the Congo look like my Haitian relatives 🥰
Thank you for the video appreciate it god bless you brother
No one really knows exactly where in Africa Haitians are from, but it doesnt matter.. We are all still strong Africans from the motherland. Its sad that they divided.
Nigeria, congo, Benin
You need to search more, most of Haïtien came from Benin.
They are telling you and you still claim no one knows . Are you ready to learn?
POWERFUL History this is a More
Let the resonating energy from all those lost souls continue to get more powerful... Let THEM have redemption
Thanks for sharing ❤🎉😊.
God I am so glad 😀 I found this video 🎉 because I had been wondering 💭 the same exact thing 😂!
That simply means that your ancestors has been trying to tell you things through your intuition. And I believe they would be very happy if you visit your ancestral land.
God bless Haiti in these times
Why is voodoo so strong in the Haitian culture in comparison to the rest of the Caribbean and the United states? Is it because they had a mix of several different tribes? Somewhat complex, but very Interesting indeed. Peace and many blessings.
Steph even the tainos play a role in haytian vodun rhythms
It could be because the practice of slavery in the Americas started in Hayti and that's where the original prisoners of war from Africa, the Americas and the Caribbean (the kings, queens, chiefs, warriors, etc) with the sacred knowledge were sent. The 21 Nachons/Nations/Tribes which included the Taino became one at the Bwa Kayiman ceremony.
Lol in comparison to most of Africa if not all, they really take it to different levels, they got Africans thinking damn calm down child you do that shit in private.
Simply because Haitians are closer to their African roots compared to the two
@@thestsconsulting8968 lol they didn’t but we respected them becaused they endured Our trials and tribulations also and afrikans been in the America’s before the transatlantic slave trade
What’s the song at the end 21:52 🎶
Heavy
Ps First time I heard about The Dahomey Civilization was in the film The Spook Who Sat By The Door.
The warrior queen too
Woman king rather
Africans were being taken to the middle east before the transatlantic slave trade became a thing. Thus the reason there are black Arabs in Saudi Arabia nowadays. Awesome video, love learning about Hatian history, my grandfather came from Haiti to Dom Rep.
Transatlantic slave trade was mainly the west Africans and central Africans they were enslaved to the united states, south America, the Caribbeans... while Arab slave trade affected few east Africans mostly Kenyans they were taken to Arab countries.they weren't as many as transatlantic slave trade that affected west Africans and central Africans..these two slavery periods are very different.happend different times . your comment to this video not needed
@@karine-ela I’m pretty sure the comment section is free for all of us so long as we keep it respectful. You’re not telling me anything I don’t know already. The video creator tried to make it sound like the history of slavery started with the transatlantic slave trade, thus my comment about previous slavery history connected to Africa.
Facts and that’s need more light shined on it because I see how they love to act is if they didn’t come in to the motherland and did what the European people did to us the Arabs did it way before and forced there religion and over ways of life on us
Why does all history start at 1492?
Cause the white men said so
