After a year of deliberation, the #Netherlands has #returned the remains of nine #Indigenous people to #SintEustatius , a small #Dutch #Caribbean island also known as #Statia . #Archaeologists found these #BoneFragments three decades ago at a dig site at the island's FD Roosevelt Airport; some of the objects date back as far as the 5th century.
