Two historic burial grounds on Sint Eustatius, Golden Rock and Godet, have gained UNESCO recognition for their significant connection to the island’s slavery heritage. Discovered during airport expansion in 2021, the Golden Rock site sparked controversy, because of how the remains of enslaved Africans were handled. With a ceremony in Paris and a series of local events planned, the island is stepping into the global spotlight. These burial sites are becoming part of UNESCO’s “Routes of Enslaved Peoples” program.
