#honoringthedead

Happened upon this winged warrior in the road this morning, moved them to the side of the road and came back for them after work. Brought them to my favorite spot on the river and laid them to rest🫶 on the way back to the road from the river, I noticed the divergence of paths, and the tree that symbolized the crossroads..I've walked that path 100's of times before but never noticed it. A sign from Hekate that she was there with me, and is guiding our friend to the next world🖤

The Parley Massacre Dominican president Rafael Trujillo ordered Haitians killed a day before the massacre. Based on the outcome of a 300 Haitian slaughter in Banica, he said this course of action would continue. The reason for this was rumored criminal actions by Haitians in the Dominican Republic. Targeted Haitians lived in the Cibao region and the far northwest. Many met their end via machetes, knives, and rifles. The army is said to have bayonetted small children. Those who tried to flee into Haiti across the Artibonite River were shot in the back. In all, the death toll hovers between 12,000 and 35,000. The exact number of people killed in the Parsley Massacre is unknown because some killings were carried out in isolated locations and some bodies were simply lost. Similar killings targeting Haitians were carried out in the far south months later. Reparations The U.S. and Haiti called for reparations from the Dominican Republic to the tune of $750,000. Because it was beneficial to appease the U.S., Trujillo’s government agreed to pay $525,000 or close to $9,000,000 in today’s currency. This meant survivors were to get $30 each but corrupt Haitian bureaucracy and no failsafe in place only saw them receive 2 cents each. #remembering Oct 2- Oct 8 #honoringthedead #vigil #notforgotten #dominicanslovehaitians video @ted https://www.instagram.com/p/BorQYJ2nJNw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kig25dkzubh3
