I
interviewed 2 activists fighting for the survival of their country. They are James Finies and Davika
Bissessar Shaw.
James and
Davika are both presidents of 2 organizations fighting against the Dutch’s attempt
to extinguish the indigenous people of Bonaire.

The Dutch
government wants to incorporate Bonaire in its Constitution. We rejected that
in a 2015 referendum, but the new government is determined to do it
anyway.
We have a
population of about 19,000, but it has double recently because of the threat of
being displaced by European Dutch Citizens.The Dutch government has opened
immigration 400% for European Dutch Citizens, while only allowing back 25% of
returning Bonerians.
