The St. Eustatius Afrikan Burial Ground Alliance took the initiative to apply for this prestigious designation in February 2022. A formal announcement regarding the nomination will be made during a ceremony at UNESCO&#8217;s headquarters in Paris on October 9, with a livestream available on their official website.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Kenneth Cuvalay, the President of the St. Eustatius Afrikan Burial Ground Alliance, expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the recognition of these burial grounds as part of the UNESCO Routes of Enslaved Peoples. He emphasized the importance of this acknowledgment for the local community, stating, \u201cAnnina initially brought this idea to our attention while advocating for the respectful reburial of the \u2018Liberated\u2019 Afrikans on St. Helena, a British overseas territory.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cuvalay also highlighted the contributions of Annina Van Neel and Peggy King Jorde, who have played pivotal roles in advocating for the respectful treatment of these sites. Jorde noted that this moment is empowering for the Statia community as they confront the historical erasure of their heritage.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"wpaicg-chat-message-77568\" class=\"wpaicg-chat-message\">The Golden Rock burial site gained significant media attention in 2021 when it was threatened by plans for sand excavation to support airport development. This led to public outcry and a suspension of the excavation activities due to concerns over improper archaeological practices. A total of 69 ancestral remains were unearthed during this process and are currently stored in a depot on the island. The Godet burial site, also included in the UNESCO application, has been a focal point for archaeological research, often conducted without proper community engagement. Following fieldwork by a program from Texas State University in 2022, the site was left in a poor state, raising further concerns among local residents.<\/p>\n<p>The recognition of the Routes of Enslaved Peoples by UNESCO marks a crucial step in acknowledging the historical injustices associated with the transatlantic slave trade. This initiative aims to promote values of tolerance, respect, and dignity through research, education, and the documentation of memorial sites. The application process, which began in February 2022 and was submitted to the UNESCO Committee Netherlands in November 2022,&#8221; seeks to break the silence surrounding this dark chapter in history,&#8221; reports a statement by the St Eustatius Afrikan Ground Burial Alliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"wpaicg-chat-message-77568\" class=\"wpaicg-chat-message\">However, challenges remain regarding the reburial of the ancestral remains, as Cuvalay has raised concerns about the local archaeological center, SECAR, which has yet to provide a necessary report detailing the excavation process. In response to these ongoing issues, the Alliance plans to host community events in November 2024 to discuss the reburial process and design a memorial to honor their ancestors, and foster a reconnection with their heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpaicg-chat-shortcode-type\">\n<div data-grammarly-part=\"button\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"amkYk\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"ptGJG\">\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"jeWQ0 q44yz\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"VNMHv DR3p_ BWwwG\">\n<div class=\"L704q\">\n<div data-purpose=\"animation-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"k1mI2\">\n<div class=\"BHWNr\">\n<div class=\"R7Ehf fspWv\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fDZiE\" data-grammarly-part=\"gbuttonBadge\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-grammarly-part=\"highlights\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Golden Rock and Godet Afrikan burial sites located in St. Eustatius, part of the Dutch Caribbean, are set to receive recognition from UNESCO for their historical significance related to the legacies of enslavement.
