When Christopher Columbus arrived in Haiti in 1492, his men initially encountered the indigenous Taíno people. However, Columbus and his crew later enslaved many of the Taíno, forcing them to work in gold mines and on plantations. This led to a dramatic decline in the Taíno population due to harsh treatment, disease, and violence. Over the following decades, the indigenous population was decimated, and European settlers began to bring enslaved Africans to the island as well.
