In the beginning, the island of Hispaniola (the island in which Haiti is located) was inhabited by the group of people who had migrated from Siberia that we refer to as Native Americans today. But in the 1400s, Christopher Columbus, (who landed in the Caribbean-not mainland America as most think he did) made the island known to the Old World.
