==Historical Background==
 
Sint Maarten is the southern half of the island of Saint Martin and is a constituent country of the Netherlands.  The other half of the island is a collectivity of France.  The border has gone back and forth but is now stable. Few of the native peoples survived.  The Spanish had the island for a short time.  Massive numbers of African slaves were brought to the island in the 1600s. Therefore the people of the island may have Dutch, French and African ancestry with a little bit of native peoples and Spanish ancestry.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sint_Maarten Sint Maarten], (accessed 24 March 2021).
