    Stephany In Spanish Culture

    Before the arrival of the European Settlers, there were two native people who inhabited the island and there were the Arawaks and the Taínos. The Native People and the European Settlers were able to live together and work together for a number of years before things took a turn for the worst. More than 100 years after Christopher Columbus founded and renamed the island of Hispaniola, many of the Native people had died from disease, famine, and war.

However, that all changed in 1844, when the Dominican people fought back, thus establishing what we now know as the Dominican…

Not understanding a single word being said around me, I realized I would have to adapt to a new culture, but at the same time carry on my own.…
