Haitian people are warm and friendly, and know how to survive in the face of adversity and daily challenges.

Haiti's population is concentrated in the urban areas, coastal plains, and valleys.

Haitians have a varied European descendancy and a significant amount of Jewish ancestry and a small percent of Asian descent.

Approximately 95 percent of Haiti people are of African descent, with the remaining 5% being mulatto - black and white parentage or ancestry - and other races. The majority are Roman Catholics and Voo Doo is also widely practiced, often in conjunction with the Roman Catholic traditions.
