La période coloniale commence avec le contact entre l’ancien et le nouveau monde en 1555 jusqu’à l’abolition de l’esclavage en 1848. Elle est caractérisée par le trafic ​d'esclaves entre Afrique et Amériques, les échanges entre nouveaux arrivants et amérindiens. Elle est aussi marquée par le choc bactériologique lié à l’arrivée des colons qui a participé à la disparition d’une partie de la population amérindienne.
