Before Christopher Columbus arrived, the indigenous TaÃnos (meaning 'Friendly People') lived on the island now known as Hispaniola. TaÃnos gave the world sweet potatoes, peanuts, guava, pineapple, and tobacco - even the word 'tobacco' is TaÃno in origin. Yet the TaÃnos themselves were wiped out by Spanish diseases and slavery. Of the 400, 000 TaÃnos that lived on Hispaniola at the time of European arrival, fewer than 1000 were still alive 30 years later. None exists today.
The upheaval of 1843 year gives Santo Domingo the chance to throw off the yoke of Haiti. The eastern half of the island proclaims its independence, as the Dominican Republic, in 1844. Hispaniola, the oldest European colony in the western hemisphere, becomes also the first region to be free.
The banner of the Dominican Republic was received on November 6th, 1844. The Dominican Flag includes a focused white cross that stretches out to the edges and partitions the banner into four rectangles. The top ones are blue and red, and the base ones are red and blue. The real hues are ultramarine blue and vermilion red. The first hues are gotten from the shades of the Haitian banner.
The primary Dominican Republic banner was made by Ms. Maria Trinidad Sanchez and Ms. Concepcion Bona, It flew surprisingly upon the arrival of Dominican autonomy, February 27, 1844, and it was somewhat diverse, including the main two quadrants blue and the last two red, it wasn't until 1908 that the substituting hues came to be.
The "emblem" or shield is in the center of the banner. This seal is like the banner outline and demonstrates a book of scriptures, a cross of gold, 4 Dominican banners and two lanes on an example from the banner. There are branches of olive and palm around the shield or more on a strip is the maxim "Dios, Patria, Libertad" signifying "God, Fatherland, Liberty". Underneath the shield is the name of the nation "República Dominicana" shows up on a red strip.
In the center of the shield, flanked by three spears (two of them holding Dominican banners) on each side, is a Bible with a small cross above it and said to be opened to the Gospel of John, either to chapter one or chapter 8, verse 32, which reads Y la Verdad nos hará libre (And the truth shall make you free). The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Dominican Flag for the future.
