HAITI MAY HAVE LOSTED ALL ITS NATIONAL TREASURES
by Hugeaux

La Plaza is the area where The Palais Naccional (Capital) is located in Port au Prince, Haiti. Most of you do not know that the treasure of Haiti's history is house in the MUPANAH (Musee de Patheleon National Hatien) or in other term Haiti's Smithsonian, also in the area.

Here is an exerpt from my Haitian Diaries:
"This museum is a jewel of Haiti, as Haiti is proud to be the first black republic. I saw the official documents, pistol etc., of Toussaint LOuverture. I saw the original anchor of one of Christopher Columbus’s ships. I saw the original portrait of Henri Christophe by Richard Evans. I saw the original pure gold crown of emperor Faustin-Elie Soulouque, made of pure gold, diamonds, turquoise, garnets, etc. I saw the earrings of his wife empress Adelina. I saw the original small flag that Haiti gave to the United States of America to place on the moon from Apollo #11, under the presidency of Richard Nixon. I saw and touched Henri Christophe original safe of the Palais Sans Souci, which was once full with treasures. I saw the hall of presidents. I was surprised that Haiti had a woman president by the name of Ertha Pascel Trouillot (pres. 1990 - 1991). I saw the wall which has all the names of Haitian freedom fighters. There are bust of the four Founding Fathers: L’Ouverture, Dessaline, Christophe and Petion. This is just naming a fews of the many wonderful sites and history of MUPANAH"

MUPANAH has a beautiful water fountain on top of it, full of water. During the earthquake the water fountain must also have created and leaked into the museum and destroyed Haiti's treasures. MUPANAH must have been destroyed as well because it is located right accross the street from the National Palace (Capital).

Here is an exerpt from my Haitian Diaries:
" The Jean-Jacque DesSaline monument (founding Father, created by African American sculptor Richard Barthe) which was fenced and surrounded by the many flags of Haiti, The Henri Christophe monument (founding Father), The Alexandre Sabes Petion monument (founding Father & Father of the PanAmerican movement), La Palais Nacional, The Jean-Bertrand Aristide monuments (un-finished which is suppose to an eternal flame of fire), The Neg Mawon sculpture(the famous unknown Maroon) and The Toussaint L’Ouverture monument in front of La Palais National ( founding Father created by African American sculpture Richard Barthe) and others."

These monuments are also in the La Plaza area and must have been destroyed as well. No one his reporting on the rich culture Haiti has lost: the architecture, The Kabel murals, monuments, art....etc

Artists and Humanitarians please remember that Haiti has lost 95% of it national history. Until other further report is known, this stand as logical documented.
