7) Were the indians willing to work the fields for the Europeens?

8) Who can tell us about the "ja lajan" that were burried with each dead indian? What was the contain of those "ja lajan"?

# 2) He returned in early 1493
Because he was exicited of the new world he discoverd.

of the coat oF Haiti
Yes, it' still there.

#6) Haiti was called Hispagnola On December 9, 1492
After he went across the land of Cuba, he saw the Harbor of Puerto Rico, the tranquility, the clarity of the sand’ sea, where any ship can have easy access in the sea.etc. He saw the Land with the most beautiful plants of the world. He saw the Land even better than the Land of Castile; therefore Columbus came up with the name “La Isla HISPAGNOLA

#9) Hydrocyanic Acid
about 300 of them died
