Haitians (French : Haïtiens , Haitian Creole : Ayisyen ) are the citizens of Haiti and the descendants in the diaspora through direct parentage. An ethnonational group, Haitians generally comprise the modern descendants of self-liberated Africans in the Caribbean territory historically referred to as Saint-Domingue . This includes the mulatto minority who denote corresponding European ancestry , notably from French settlers .[ 35] By virtue of historical distinction, the vast majority of Haitians share and identify with this common African lineage, though a small number are descendants of contemporary immigrants from the Levant who sought refuge in the island nation during World War I and World War II .[ 36] [ 37]
