Is Haiti part of west indies?
No. There are the United States Virgin Islands, and the British Virgin Islands. They are located in the Caribbean, and could be considered a part of the West Indies geographically. But, there is a slight difference that is difficult to explain. Caribbean people migrate among the islands a lot. So, West Indian culture is very much a part of the USVI and the BVI. However, BVI and USVI culture is not necessarily West Indian culture. They were also never a part of the 'now dissolved' federation of the West Indies, which West Indians tend to think of when they refer to the W.I. Your question is like asking if Puerto Rico is a part of the West Indies. It is and it isn't. Semantics basically. But, no. The Virgin Islands are not a part of the West Indies as West Indians understand things. You ask a St. Thomian where they're from they tell you the VI. You ask a Jamaican, Antiguan, or Trinidadian, and the same question and they'll tell you the West Indies.

The direction refers to the direction that one must travel FROM EUROPE to arrive. You must go west to the West Indies and east to the East Indies. Before Columbus' discovery he was trying to find a route to India and/or the East Indies. At the time of his discovery trade for Far East items like silk and spices involved several steps from source to destination making the products very expensive and very slow to obtain. Had Columbus been successful the Europeans could have gone directly to the source, purchased precisely what they wanted, without a markup for any intermediary, and returned home with product in a relatively short period of time. A direct ocean route around Africa to the East indies was found by Vasco de Gama for the Portuguese in 1498.
