St. Eustatius, Dutch Caribbean – After a five year long journey away from the earth, our Ancestors from the Golden Rock Afrikan Burial Ground have finally returned to the earth. Their new location is Princess. We made sure soil from the Golden Rock was put with them in the caskets.
They were laid to rest with the dignity, reverence, and peace they were denied in life. May the soil receive them gently. They told us they were happy and proud of us.
But the struggle is not over because our Ancestors’ remains were not complete. Samples have been hold back, to be send out to Harvard University and New Mexico University for dna testing. Again, there is no consent from the descendent community. We will continue to fight for our Ancestors.
