Extractions: TAINO TOURS OF QUISQUEYA (DOMINICAN REPUBLIC) Statue of behique, Los Hermanos Guillén Come along with our team of experts to explore the land that the Taínos called Quisqueya (Land for Which There Is None Greater). Since 1492, it has been called Hispaniola, an island shared by the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Haiti. The Native Taínos of the Greater Antilles, whose political-cultural center was the island of Quisqueya, were the very first Amerindian people to meet, to trade with, to fight with, and to intermarry with Europeans. Although there are no reservations of Taínos, there are huge concentrations of Taíno descendants in the Dominican countryside. Their presence is clearly visible in the smiling faces of millions of Dominican criollos most Dominicans are a biological mixture, with ancestors of Amerindian, African, and European descentand in their everyday language, which, although Spanish-based, includes hundreds of Taíno words such as un chin, barbacoa, tiburón, iguana, bohío, caracol, tabaco, maiz, manatí, maraca, yuca, casabe, canoa, huracán, hamaca, batata, auyama, guanábana . and place and river names such as Higuey, Maguana, Sabana, Yuma, Ozama.

Extractions: Handshakes are common for both men and women, both when meeting and upon departing. Friends may embrace, and women friends may hold each other by the shoulders and kiss. Business cards should be printed in Spanish, although most businesspeople speak English. At social events, the host will usually make individual introductions. DECISION MAKING Actual decisions are almost always made at a high level of authority. Although you should approach senior people, Dominicanos will wish to match you with someone of similar rank. It is important to cultivate personal relationships with these peers, because the quality of these relationships may strongly influence the actual decisionmaker. WOMEN Although women in the Dominican Republic generally occupy a somewhat secondary status in this traditionally male-dominated society, many operate businesses and may be accorded considerable personal freedom. Dominican women are becoming more common and more accepted in business in general, but businesswomen may experience more difficulty than men in doing business.

Thank you, Ambassadors Hertell and Noriega for being here today. Margarita and Fernando, welcome to the White House and Happy Independence Day. Fernando, congratulations on your appointment to the Commission on Presidential Scholars. Thank you all for your hard work to foster friendship and opportunity between the Dominican Republic and America. On this day in 1844, a proud people declared independence and put the Dominican Republic on a path towards democracy.Today, we celebrate the anniversary of Dominican independence and the love of liberty that unites all Dominicans and Americans. I'm glad you're celebrating this special day at the White House, which stands as a symbol of freedom worldwide. One hundred and fifty-nine years ago, a new flag flying proudly became a symbol of freedom for Dominicans. The father of Dominican independence, Juan Pablo Duarte, designed the flag to represent the Dominicans struggle for liberty and the promise of democracy. The cross symbolizes the fight for independence. Red represents the sacrifice of those who fought; blue stands for progress and white, the Dominicans' hope for lasting peace. Dominicans across the world believe in all their flag symbolizes.

Extractions: Dominican Republic Culture Music and dance is at the heart of Dominican culture. The most popular form is merengue, which will be blasted, full volume, almost anywhere you go in the country. A tad more pastoral is bachata, Dominican country music, with plenty of songs about heartbreak and loss. Salsa probably makes the third favorite musical type in the DR's holy trinity, though you'll find plenty of jazz, rock, hip-hop and just about anything else that'll keep your feet moving. The Dominican art scene is also quite healthy, thanks in no small part to dictator Rafael Trujillo. Creative freedom was not a hallmark of his reign, but the man did have a soft spot for painting. He founded the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes (National School of Fine Arts) in 1942, basically instituting the country's fine painting tradition. 'Primitive' art, which relies less on perspective and shading and more on color and action, is also popular; keep your eyes open for it. And to check out what's happening in edgier scenes, drop by the Museo de Arto Moderno in Santo Domingo. Architecture is another important part of Dominican culture, from the well-preserved colonial Spanish buildings of Santo Domingo, the Americas' first European city, to the brightly colored farmhouses of the countryside. Color and style are ignored by no one in the DR, which makes for some very interesting sightseeing.

Extractions: CULTURE AND RELIGION Dominicans are known for inventing the musical style of merengue, which historically makes use of the African tambor drum, the Indigenous Taino guayo (grater), and the European accordian. In recent years, the older style of merengue (musica tipica) has given way to a more commercial style of music, for example, incorporating North American "rap". Besides the aforementioned salcocho stew, Dominican diets include plantains and yuca (manioc or cassava), rice and beans, and a specialty of fried pig skin called "chicharron". There are also several dishes that have arabic origins including "quipes", which are deep-fried meat-filled wheat balls, derived from Middle Eastern "quipe". Fresh fruits and vegetables abound including bananas, oranges, sweet lemons, pineapples, mangos, melons, golden apples, guanabanas, guavas, eggplant, chayote squash, auyama squash, nisperos, limoncillos, and cherries (to name just a few). Dominicans refer to the typical meal of rice and beans with a side dish of meat as their national flag. Indigenous casabe bread, made from bitter yuca flour, used to be a daily food item. Recently, bread made from wheat flour has taken its place as a staple.
