Our Country
| Our country is one of diversity. Varied geographical characteristics have been background to numerous and
diverse cultural influences, giving shape to the also diverse characters
of the modern Puerto Ricans. Being an island, our country has been
influenced by exterior elements more (much more) than other countries
that share borders with their neighbors.

 |
We have created change from within
and have also welcomed and endured it from abroad. First the
native Boricuas discovered the Europeans when Spaniards arrived on their
shores in 1493. The Spaniards then brought the Africans as slaves. Later on,
the French, the Dutch and other Europeans came by to contribute their
share.
|
|
After evolving as Hispanics with all these influences,
since 1898 we have blended with the
North Americans to create a unique cultural entity with a hard to match built-in
versatility. Nevertheless, the main fibers of our character have
endured the test of time. |
