I am a social scientist and hope to study culture change across time on Bonaire. I'm interested in meeting non-Dutch, non-American residents to talk with them about Bonaire's change in status with respect to the Netherlands. I'd appreciate any suggestions that you might have about key people to meet. My fluency in Papiamentu is minimal, but I'm working on it!

Carl: Thanks for the information about the online translator. I suspect that it will be very useful.

contact boi antoin at the Extra newspaper .. he is bonaire's historian and writes the daily feature "Hende di Boneiru" as well as doing the weekly television program "Herensia" which are interviews with the bonairian elders. his e-mail address is b.antoin@telebonet.an. he speaks excellent english and can help you with papiamentu translations as our elders as a rule do not speak english.

Ha, Ha!! Thank you Pietri!! I was trying and trying to remember his name last night, searching in all of the nooks and crannies of my grey matter and the only thing I could come up with was "Doi"....and Googling bonaire+Doi got me nowhere, LOL.

There was a gal that posted a few months ago, she and her family are native Bonairians, she had a web page about her family, who is from Rincon. I searched the archives, but can't find the thread with the link. Does anyone else remember?
