Haiti (Haïti in French; Ayiti in Haitian Creole), officially the Republic of Haiti, occupies three-eighths of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. The country also includes many smaller islands such as La Gonâve, Île à Vache, La Tortue (Tortuga), Les Cayemites, Île de Anacaona, and La Grande Caye. The uninhabited island of Navasse is claimed by both Haiti and the United States. 'Ayiti' (Haiti) is the indigenous Taíno name for the island. Its highest point is Pic la Selle, which has a height of 2,680 meters (8,793 ft). Haiti shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. The total area of Haiti is 27,750 km² (10,714 sq mi) and its capital is Port-au-Prince. Template:/box-footerLua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Box-header/colours' not found. François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture Audio file "Fr-Dominique Toussaint L'Ouverture.oga" not found, also Toussaint Bréda, Toussaint-Louverture (c. 1743 - April 7, 1803) was one of the leaders of the Haitian Revolution. Along with Jean-Jacques Dessalines, another leader of the Revolution, Louverture is considered as one of the fathers of the Haitian nation. Although generalists often misspell Toussaint's adopted surname as L'Ouverture, historians prefer to use Toussaint's spelling of Louverture, which was also the spelling adopted by his son and brother.
