I have not seen many genetical studies on Haiti, but i know one Haitian who took a DNA test, i am not sure where, but she came out as 60% African, 10% Native, 30% euro, might be Africanancestry.com or something, i am not sure i need to ask her again. I think quite a few Haitians will have native admixture, although in small amounts, and a few will have high native admixture, higher then 10%. European admixture is probably higher then native admixture in Haiti.

That girl with the native admixture must have a dominican or two on her family tree, and most likely peasants from the Central Plateau of the island. Before the final border treaty of the 1930's, the DR used to be larger than it currently is, some 3,165km2 more or something (51,607km2).

Incidentally, I remember reading somewhere that, despite the time elapsed since that treaty, there is still a small spanish speaking community with ancestral roots on Hinche of about 2,000 people. Not everyone chose to move to the current DR side of the island as soon as the last treaty was signed.
