October 31, 1941 – October 31, 2023, it has been 82 years since the National Bureau of Ethnology, the scientific laboratory of the people, has worked to understand the identity of the Haitian people, 82 years since it worked to preserve, explore and celebrate diversity . cultural and ethnological heritage of the Haitian people.
“We have a duty, as a people with a great history, to defend our identity, despite all the obstacles we face from the days of the colony until today,” writes the BNE.
As the scientific laboratory of the people, the National Bureau of Ethnology seeks to bring out the essence of us as Haitians, and to put it on the high road so that we know that this is what comes from our roots, of our culture, that we can build the Haiti that we dream of, that our Haitian ancestors gave us.
We have a responsibility, as Haitians, to respect, understand and value where we come from, our ancestors and the legacy they left us.
On this special day, the National Bureau of Ethnology presents its respects to all Haitians who live on the land of Father Dessalines and everywhere! Never forget that you have to know where you come from to know where you are going! Ayibobo
