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). a1f2.jpg 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.
