Historical Background[edit | edit source]
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, Sint Maarten, (accessed 24 March 2021).
