(U.S.) REKONESANS Mwenmenm sèlman pa tap sifi pou mete dokiman sa a sou pye nan yon mwa san ke m pat jete yon koudèy sou sa plizyè otè ayisyen ekri deja. Mwen bese byen ba pou m salye efò ak esperyans ke m benefisye de otè sa yo: Jean Fouchard, Frederick B. Reynaud, Bernard Dadié (ekriven ivwaryen), Jules Faine, Tony Jean-Jacques, Pauris Jean-Baptiste, Odette R. Fombrun, Deita (Mercedes F. Guignard) ak Yves Dejean. pa menm otè a: Dictionary of Haitian Creole Verbs With Phrases And Idioms (1992) Ide pou kreye yon High School Ayisyen prive nan Boston (1994) Di yon vèb, tire yon kont (1994) Ti istwa kreyòl : Short stories in Haitian Creole (1994) Poetry in Haitian Creole (1994) Sezon sechrès Ayiti (woman, 1994) Yon koudèy sou pwoblèm lekòl Ayiti (1994) A=oPA NWW N Un stylo international (poèmes, 1994) ENTWODIKSYON Materyèl edikatif pou Bileng Ayisyen se nevyèm liv ke m pibliye. Kòm mwen mansyone deja nan Ti istwa kreyòl : Short stories in Haitian Creole, mwen pa janm satisfè de èv literè m yo ki an rapò ak Ayiti. Kòm ekriven ayisyen, mwen toujou genyen yon swaf pou m ta pwodui plis pou jenerasyon lan 2000 lan. Liv sa a se yon dokiman ki an rapò ak esperyans mwen kòm pwofesè ayisyen nan Pwogram Bileng Ayisyen. Kòm Tony Jean-Jacques mansyone: «okenn lekòl pap gen siksè san èd materyèl nan lang matènèl elèv la». Se yon privilèj pou m te pibliye kèk liv pou sèvi kòm blòk nan konstriksyon travay sa a. Li pran tan, esperyans ak lajan pou pibliye. Byenke m okipe ak lòt pwojè, mwen eseye fè yon ti sakrifis pou travay sou lang kreyòl la ak edikasyon e etan pwofesè, mwen kwè se yon obligasyon tou. Anpil fwa, yon otè pa benefisye de travay li, men fòk gen kèk moun konsyan de pwoblèm yo ki dwe mete tan disponib pou chache kèk solisyon. Mwen panse ke pwofesè ayisyen yo kapab rive jwenn kèk solisyon nan pwoblèm lan si yo eseye travay ansanm. Kounyeya, nou konn pwoblèm lan, ann pa chita ap pale de li chak jou, men ann panse a kijan nap eseye solisyone l. Liv sa a se pa yon dokiman konplè sou Materyèl edikatif pou Bileng Ayisyen. Se kapab premye entèpretasyon kèk lektè pral fè lè yo gade tit la. Pa panse ke | gen tout bagay ladan pou Bileng Ayisyen nonplis. Se jis yon ti koudèy ak yon echantiyon sou kijan pwofesè ayisyen kapab fè kopilasyon kèk materyèl pou klas yo oubyen pou devlope korikilòm pa yo. Sa depan de sa ke pwofesè a ap anseye tou. Domèn pa m chita plis sou lang etranje ak syans sosyal; donk, nenpòt moun ki jete yon koudèy sou liv sa a ap jwenn reflè sa yo. Mwen kwè ke lekti trè enpòtan tou pou kapab louvri lespri elèv. la oubyen pou | devlope lespri kritik. Mwen swete ke echantiyon travay sa a kapab sèvi kòm yon bousòl pou tout pwofesè ayisyen kap anseye nan Pwogram Bileng Ayisyen ak moun kap fè rechèch sou Pwogram Bileng. Emmanuel W.

Védrine - Materyèl edikatif pou Bileng Ayisyen CHAPIT J A panorama of Haitian Indian Civilization (by Emmanuel W. Védrine) If we trace the roots of the Haitian Indians according to the tradition of the natives, we find that the island was populated by Indians from Florida and the Yucatan, and by two large groups migrating from South America. Historians always have chosen to focus on the two main native tribes: the Arawaks and the Caribs. The Arawaks were also called Arahuacos. In the Marcorix language, once a predominant language of Haiti, the word Arawaks means eater of the yuca flour. The Arawaks’ ancestors, the Galibis, had inhabited the regions of Guyana and the Amazon. The Arawaks, Kaketios, Lucavos, and the Tainos were all descended from the Galibis who had migrated to the Greater and Lesser Antilles. The national literature consisted of poetry and an oral tradition called «Areyto». The latter was the more popular form. The Sambas or Troubadours of the island sang their joys and their gnef. They sang the beauty of the women. the bravery of their chiefs, the power of the gods. and of war. E W. Védrine - Materyèl edikanf pou Bileng Avisyen Using these types of literature as their media, particular individuals transmitted these traditions from generation to generauon. “Bovites” legends which are included in this literature. Among them are: “Nonum” (Moon), a story of the moon’s jealousy of the sun’s brightness, and its preference to shine at night. Other legends deal with paradise after death, the creation of the sea, how the woodpecker sculpted the female gender. and why the mghtingales sing. Upon the arrival of Columbus in 1492, the island was divided into six “cacicats”, or territories, governed by an Indian chief. or a “cacique”. The cacicats were: Higuey, Ciguay, Marien. Xaragua. Magua and Maguana. The Caribs populated the first two termtories. The Marien and the Xaragua were inhabited by Tainos. The last two were under the control of the famous Caonabo, a man who was the husband of the beautiful Anacaona, Queen of the Xaragua. Although the Haitian Indians were wiped out by Europeans. traces of their civilization remain in the history and literature of the country. The following text is a translation of an epic poem composed by a famous cacique named Henn. This poem describes his resistence against European forces.
