This is the first of a serie of 17 videos. It´s a description of their characteristics and their possible descendants today.

As I recall, the Levite genes found in one African tribe in particular are from Southern Africa, not West Africa where the majority of slaves came from. They would have to establish a link by confirming, through DNA analysis of Haïtians, that the Levite haploid gene is present. Until they do it will only be speculation. The only non-Arab and non-Berber African countries that I presently know of that almost certainly have Israelite ancestry are Ethiopia and South Africa - Zimbabwe. It's for sure an interesting area of research though you may be disappointed as to the results when it comes to your beloved Haïti! More important to me is simply persuading ALL races, kindreds and tongues to come to Yah'shua and letting Yahweh decide into which tribe each will go. I have long believed trying to establish racial affinities and ties to Israel is a risky business that can turn the gospel into a flesh show.

Yes,You have certainly right. But I felt that their motives are right even if they have been misguided somewhere. It was the idea that the haitians should come out from the tribe of Levi that got my attention. You have written that they also came to Africa. The haitians are descendans from slaves who was brought from Africa to Hispanolia which is the name of the island where Haiti and the republic of Dominica are.

I haven't seen the other 16 videos of this series but from what I have heard so far this teacher seems unaware of a HUGE corpus of research that establishes that the BULK of the Ten Tribes went north over the Caucasus and then west into Europe to mingle with the natives, and another branch east into Asia. I am guessing (correct me if I am wrong) that these teachers are part of the Black Israelite Movement ?
