A job for 25 years or so, so I listened to it, but at one point I had no interest. So I started to feel proud of Buneiro, for Buneiro, its people, its neighborhood. I came from a neighborhood north of Salinha, so I started to live in a neighborhood north of Salinas, so I was born in a neighborhood. I started to read about it when I was a kid and then I started to read about it a few years later. It's a story about a neighborhood, but unfortunately I didn't have the time to read about it.

Speaker 1:

I started to read about it, but unfortunately, to look at the book based on information that he gave me. It creates pride, it creates interest, but it's interested in history, culture and nature Three things. You know you're a young man. You're a young man, you know you're a young man?

Speaker 1:

You put it in a film. Uh-huh, you put it in here.

Speaker 3:

So as soon as you take the film? It's no, but as I said, it Correct.

Speaker 1:

I put it in the water and then I put another chemical called StopBat.

Speaker 3:

It's a process.

Speaker 1:

I shake it once and then I put it in the water and then I fix it. Fixing it gives a layer of protection. If you fix it, it will become yellow, it will become brown. Stop.

Speaker 3:

Stop, stop.

Speaker 1:

One step back takes more time. I was talking about 40,. One portrait, two portraits. I had time to develop a text type, send it to the console, type it again, and then I could do a certain treatment for a film. Then I could see what it was like certain treatment for a film. So I'm going to do it and I'm going to see if it's good. I'm going to do a process.

Tell us a little more about preserving. Preserving Okay, let's go, Okay. So tell us a little more about preserving the heritage of Buneiro. How important is this scene for me?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, for me, for the world, let's go. You know it's a matter of history at school, so history is important. You have to have an interpretation of history. You know you have to come. It's important to have a good interpretation of history, to know who was born, who was born, to know how it was made and also to connect with the future, to not just go back to our ancestors. It's important to have a good history.

Speaker 2:

Ah, yes, I agree with you. It happens all the time. You don't have a problem afterwards. You do, you do. I don't know if you feel like school is doing a good job, not just in Buneiro. Do you feel like school is doing a good job to improve the history of Buneiro?

Speaker 1:

I have to answer this question. I promise you no.

Speaker 2:

What did you feel when you?

Speaker 1:

Speaker 1:

No, I didn't feel anything. No-transcript. I don't know anything, I don't know that we have we have generation, but young people don't know it. For example, abraham Boulevard, abraham, I don't know. But not only history and culture, but also natural stone for us, and culture, but also, as I said, the stone of nature, and that's why we, because of the endemic, because of the disease, we don't know what to do. We have to be patient, we have to be patient, we have to be patient and we don't know, it's simple.

Speaker 1:

It's simple. We don't know how to do it. We don't know. Yeah, how come?

Speaker 1:

So it's bad we're buying medicine no we're, we're, we're. Aruba is also our master of the least precious, our least cost, our remedy. Fortunately, aruba has a couple of them. I thought I'd interview them too. North, for example, do you know of Joana Figueroa? No, I've heard of her. I know of North.

That's it, that's it, that's it, that's it.

Speaker 2:

That's it.

Speaker 1:

Yes, yes, yes, yes yes.

Speaker 2:

Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 1:

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes.

Speaker 3:

Yes, my name is Miles Miles, I'm a personal contact. Talk to you, talk to you. But we're going to talk about history. But what is it like I'm going to mention now that nothing has been a good job to introduce the history of money? How do you want to make it important for your curriculum team to have the history of money At least six months? Yes, but we know.

Speaker 1:

We know the history, the culture. We know who he is. We know who he is. I interviewed my mother. I know who he is, but I didn't know him. So we don't know exactly what is the origin. We explain that it's African Benin. This is correct. Benin Germany. We invite them to come. So in general, most of the women in Aruba have DNA. In general, especially in Aruba, we can see the topographic name of Aruba thing a.

Speaker 1:

DNA in John a opie for a special mint. In a Rubino is a mozzarella sacco. Nomad and topographic on Aruba to the nominant the idiom arwak die Mari.

Speaker 2:

Yamanote Light, light, light, light light.

Speaker 1:

So he played a big role in the history of the world, but there are five or six times. You know right, you know who the boy is.

Speaker 3:

Yes, I know it's not a big role, it's not like he's a DJ, it's not like that. But there are a lot of things in Aruba. I mean, I don't know. I'm going to say how Aruba developed, Like in the time of Injang or who was in Ar. How did you develop your music? How did you start? I mean, you have this interview with someone who has a lot of experience in music, but you don't have the best behavior. You have a lot of money and you're not really into it. So you have this history with people who know you. What shape do you have in your music?

Speaker 1:

My music has a lot good origin in India. I will mention the name.

Speaker 1:

It is a very well preserved, of its culture, of its history, in India or Ameri-India. So the word India is not correct. So we are from India, a little bit like Christopher Columbus, good friend. I am from India why not? I have a friend, christopher Columbus, but I?

Speaker 1:

Aruba has its own origin in Zhang, it's true, but it's a race of Aruba, it's a European country. What's the name? A German? I'm from Zuzabeek. I'm from Zuzabeek, right, I'm from Zuzabeek. I'm from Aruba, the Melendez, what Susabik? No, madam, I put my name in Aruba.

Speaker 1:

Aruba is made in the past with an African origin. There are many Brazilians in Aruba with a strong African ingredient, with the Tambo. I don't know if you know, but Aruba is a man, a garden with a stronger African ingredient, with a lot of tambourine. I don't know if you understand, but in a way an anthropologist, dr Luc Alofs, wrote a book called Slavin Zonder Plantage, a very interesting book. It's a book based on the investigation of the African ingredient in the Arab population. Now I'm going to go out and I'm going to complain. I'm going to falsify the story because I'm a little bit negative, but I'm a Slavic, I'm from the plantation. I'm not from the plantation, but I'm from the area where I grew up, but I'm not from the animal farm. But it was a child of beast. The father and the father are an indication that it has something to do with the child of beast. But now that they have realized, they have become conscious, until they start accepting an African, descendant African.

Speaker 1:

I have been active in the Aruba Library, which is part of the Caribbean or Arubiana. I have been paying attention to this. I have been looking at African cattivo in Aruba. I think it was a good development, but it is a simple example. I don't know the number of cattivo, in particular with the shape Desarroio. Um ampla simpulimita do nabo de nome de cativo, na particular con a forma Nanta bolto e nome e cativo na na boneiro de Suarez, ora na libertad. Na abira Serous de Lampatras. Tinha sonante de Brot abira Torbet. Tinha sonante de Ellis. Abira Silei Assine. Um bom ampla Quem da Torbet. Alice Amirassilei.

Speaker 3:

I have a good example. Who is that?

Speaker 1:

Oduber Dubero, Oduber Dubero. I have a variant of that. I have a lot.

Speaker 3:

I have a lot, I know.

Speaker 1:

Soros, One of my friends growing up.

Speaker 3:

His family is Soros. He was originally from Harry Soares, he was educated. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

Speaker 1:

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. I have a name that I don't recognize. I put it behind the name of my mother. I don't know if it's a name of a government, a name of a king. I call her Martis or Marti. I call her Catalina. I call her Martis or Catalina.

Speaker 3:

I have a name that I mother would call her son Blanca. She would call her son Yanchi.

Speaker 1:

That was a custom. That Emanciana, her name, is on the front, she has her freedom, she is have here is also on the border of the government. We have Siana, uliana, mariana, dorothea, and so on. We have a lot of farms that are directly from Africa. We have a lot of farms in Africa. I don't know if you can see it, but in Africa, wanga Yanga, kofi Domakase, marcera.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if you can see it, but in Africa Google, for example, in Kenya, there's a Wanga Kingdom, A king within the culture of Kenya. In Kenya it's called Wanga Stop what.

Speaker 3:

Oh, you're the long-lost prince.

Speaker 1:

Damn. In this case, here we have a ronzel or a recruit who has to go to the farm to get his wife. So, in the way, we have to make sure that the cattle are well-fed. That's how we do it.

Speaker 3:

And planting in the way of big crops, yes, in the way of big crops. E plantagem na.

The plant is a little bigger, a little bigger but sometimes it's a little bigger, you plant it together and it's a little bigger than Aruba, you know what I'm thinking here.

Speaker 3:

When I talk about the culture in the past, I feel like it's almost the same, but it's not the same as Aruba, which has. What are you protecting? So then I'm thinking about. That's what I'm thinking about right now.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that makes sense, though I know now, but it doesn't stay alive. No, I agree.

Speaker 1:

Nowadays a lot of people use keyboards.

Speaker 3:

A lot of people use computers to talk about slavery. I never heard of it. I never heard of it, but I think it's like it's not a danger Of course not. I understand and I accept it. How do you? Know Correct and I talk about it like I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like.

Speaker 1:

It's a it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

Speaker 3:

It's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it Okay yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, the place is also in Buneiro we have Malmoq. In Aruba we have Malmoq. We have a lot of places.

Speaker 3:

Do you have a beach in Malmoq? No, no, no.

Speaker 1:

It's the part I'm talking about, Aruba. It's the part north northwest of Buneiro.

Speaker 2:

It's in the northwest.

Speaker 1:

I need to go to Aruba too. Northwest, northwest, I need to go to Aruba. I need to go to Aruba. I need to go to Aruba. I need to go to Aruba. I need to go to Aruba. I need to go to Aruba.

Speaker 2:

I need to go to Aruba. I need to go and you are called Lomba Preto.

Speaker 1:

No no, no, Corso is Bachi Preto.

Speaker 3:

Bachi Preto.

Speaker 1:

No, it's Chibi, Chibi, chibi, chibi. Yes, you don't know what it is. Yes, chibi, chibi, for example is a name right, yes, yes. So Chibi? Chibi is a name, aruac Baricael Bachi Preto. What, what's your name, barikel?

Speaker 2:

Barikel right.

Speaker 1:

Yes, your name is not Barikel, barikel is Barikel. Your name is Barikel, but Chibi-Chibi. My name is Chuchubi. Your name is Arwak Chuchubi Warawara.

Speaker 3:

I think it's a little bit different. Chuchubi, it's a little bit different.

Speaker 1:

Your name is Injang.

Speaker 3:

Really, I'm thinking about how to preserve an important name like that so you can drink a beer Miami High Music. How do you say beer? Ah beer, no, it's the word Arawak in Jandu.

Speaker 1:

Ah, I didn't know that, I didn't know that, I didn't know that, I didn't know that. No, you know, I know Aruva. Well, clearly.

Speaker 3:

How long have you been living in Aruba? A year with a couple of people A year.

Speaker 1:

I served in the military for a year, but after that a couple of times in Aruba. I was a police officer. A police officer, I was retired, I was a pastor, so so, so, so, so, so so.

Speaker 2:

So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so so. I love it, I love it, I love it, 100%.

Speaker 1:

Correct.

Speaker 3:

So Correct, so so, but then you put a can of beer.

Speaker 1:

There are things that change, it becomes a control. When did you start changing? I'll put it a little slower. It's the theory of the Netherlands. It's all in control. It's a meme and the track. When you don't have a good view, you go on the track you go to the central, you go out there, you go to the center. It's a change.

Speaker 3:

It's easier, it's like a mall, it's like a mall. It's like a mall. It's like a mall but it's like a night. But for two years nothing has changed at easy, at night. But I'm telling you, for two years nothing changes at all, at least what I'm experiencing. Is it a monument?

Speaker 1:

Well, it's a monument. Monuments have two ways to become a monument. I mean today, more than 50 years ago, it was also a consideration the monument, but there are also courses in architecture, Also what is associated with it. The first airport building we have is still there. They have to repair the airport here, so we are going to fight for time to make it better. So it's an idea, a directive, Is it a?

Speaker 3:

building? No, it's a building, but is it active? No, it's not active.

Speaker 1:

It's an obsolete building, but it has its history Architecturally. If you look at it, it's beautiful. It's a special building. But if you look at it, it's a beautiful place. It's a special place. But if you realize what happened there, is it big? No, it's not big. The first airport in Bonaire is located in a completely different place. It's on the way to Berincón. So in 1947, more or less, they put a sign here, there is more space there are more officers.

Speaker 1:

So it's not a small building, but it's still there. So the current airport management doesn't have the feeling, for our history, that it very good. It's not a pretext, perhaps partially with a reason, but it's an obstacle for aviation.

Speaker 3:

But it's not.

Speaker 1:

It's not. It's not just a plane that's higher than the airport. It's higher than the airport, it's an obstacle. There are planes that stop at the top.

Speaker 3:

It's higher than that.

Speaker 1:

We are playing with the new ship. We have a destination. We are in a museum, we are going to open a new one, we are going to guide them. There are security rules. At this time, you know, there are two solutions One for 10 hours, one for 10 hours. Then they put a portrait or something of history.

Speaker 3:

And then there will be something, in a way, a behavior, at least a situation logistically that brings it. It's a free airport terrain? Yes, no, but simply a bayboard logistically you don't bring it, you can't bring it to the airport no, but if you take out a bayboard, you don't bring a bayboard around the G as in arrivals. In a baggage claim that doesn't baggage claim, that doesn't around the G, in a glass that doesn't have history over it, you don't bring your luggage out?

Speaker 1:

no, but you're over there, I don't understand.

Speaker 3:

I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand.

Speaker 2:

I don't understand. I don't understand. So they save time while the luggage is leaving. They say that it's a place for breakfast, but it also has a history of being a camera view of the photographer. It's different because it's functioning. It's also a repair of the water tower of San Nicolás, for example, but if you look at it, it's 30,000. If you look at it from the side, it's 30,000.

Speaker 3:

But they preserve it. They preserve it For sure, and you will be in Aruba for a season.

Speaker 1:

You don't want to go to Kosovo, right?

Speaker 3:

No, no, but you will go to. Kosovo and you will be in Aruba practically all your life. Yes, yes. What do you think about Aruba, going to Kosovo and similar, but what do you think about going to other two islands? Give me a good opinion.

Speaker 1:

It's a difficult question, but I'll give it to you. Let's go. I don't understand what you're saying.

Speaker 3:

I don't understand what you're saying I don't understand what you're saying.

Speaker 1:

I don't understand what you're saying. I don't understand what you're saying. I don't understand what you're saying. I don't understand what you're saying. I don't understand what you're saying. I don't understand what you're saying. I don't understand what you're saying. I don't understand what you're saying. Our music, our culture is different from Aruba and Kosovo. Our music is different. It comes from here. It's more, it's a little bit different. Our nature, aruba loses its nature. Aruba loses its nature. Aricoc Aqueda, in the north of Aruba, there is a beautiful place, but in Buneiro Conco, ba come, you can preserve the history of our country. We have a large national park, which is our national park. It's safe, safe, but according to me it's bigger than Corso, bigger than Ariquoc, safe because of the nature. It's our first national park in Israel. It's a marine park. In Boilaman, there are 13 of us, most of the tourists are here Most.

Speaker 3:

Yes, I heard from Bonero that he's diving. Does he consider himself one of the top in the world?

Speaker 1:

Yes, he's probably one of the top. I don't know, but I'm sure he's one of the top 10. For yes, I'm sure With a top I know, but I'm sure they have a top 10. Sure For sure.

Speaker 3:

Wow, I always think about Sabine Aruba diving. She came to the wrong spot. She came on a plane by Bonaero. It was close, but it was completely different Bonaero has a lot of things.

Speaker 1:

It's coast diving. You come on a bike or a car. You coast diving. You can go by car you can use a dive boat when you walk.

Speaker 3:

You can go by car. You can go by car. We're going diving on Sunday. Yes, wait a minute.

Speaker 1:

Wait a minute. Are you going to sleep?

Speaker 3:

No, I'm going to sleep, I'm going to sleep.

Speaker 1:

Are you going to sleep?

Speaker 3:

I believe you have a man you have a man. Bad bitch, we're talking man just to make it work just to make it work.

Speaker 2:

Just to make it work. Okay, go for it. Go for it. Okay, look at me if the next 50 years? Mr Walkback, what is it that you want to say to the people who are watching this?

Speaker 1:

I want to say that it is a program of leadership. I have been interviewing people for 25 years but I have interviewed 2,300 to 400 people. I have hope and things. I am very proud of it. It's the only television program in our country that UNESCO recognizes. Declare the program Memory of the World. A Latin ceremony in the Netherlands via Zoom. I want to remember the program. I was there for a month, writing, but writing is also a source of knowledge like Enra.

Speaker 1:

That's it. To be honest, I'm more interested in nature or in history and culture I don't know if there's anything else. I mean, there's a documentary about all sorts of things. I mean, I can't say that I can safeguard all these things, but nature, no. We can safeguard it, but not the nature. If we go beyond the nature, we destroy the nature. Aruba is a beautiful example, but it's also bad if we don't destroy the island.

Speaker 3:

That's my opinion. I respect Aruba.

Speaker 1:

Yes, yes, yes. The governor is not aware of the pressure. The inversionists are not well-prepared. The project is not easy, so they look at it from the first place. They don't try in the town for the election, it's just a project of development. It's not a score with the project. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Look what we did.

Speaker 1:

I don't want to score with the project. I don't want to score with the project. I don't want to score with the project Correct, I don't want to score with the project. I don't want to score with the project. I don't want to score with the project. I don't want to scoreity, but you don't have a good one, then you don't have a good family. You don't have a good family and you don't have a good family. You don't have a good family. You have three problems. I don't know how to develop, but at the moment I don't know how to put a moratorium. I don't know how to put a moratorium. I don't know how to put a moratorium. I don't know how. I have been working in Aruba for a long time. I have been living here for a long time. I have been able to develop here, but in a controlled way. For me, this is a great opportunity to learn more about Aruba, to learn more about Aruba its identity, its nature, his culture.

Speaker 1:

Before that it hurt me a lot. Now I'm in Aruba.

Speaker 3:

The development.

Speaker 1:

I'm Arubian, but with love for Aruba I feel more like a foreigner in Aruba.

Speaker 3:

You know, I have a friend in France, a friend from Canada and just a friend of mine from Canada and just a friend of mine from the Netherlands, who was also in Aruba for a while. I met him a few days ago. He was my friend Because I first came to Aruba in Hopi. I first came to Aruba and I didn't feel at home. I felt like something magic or whatever. Came to Aruba, I felt like Aruba was lost and I didn't know if I was going to come back.

Speaker 3:

I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess I guess I went back to the place where I said Aruba is the last island with so much celebrity, with so much history, to tell no, the fuck. I just said if you don't want to go there, go, go go. That's just my opinion.

Speaker 2:

And it's facts. It's facts. It's not just for San Nicolas, yeah.

Speaker 3:

San Nicolas is the only place where you can tell the history of Aruba.

Speaker 2:

San.

Speaker 1:

Nicolas is true, I don't know what to say it in Spanish, but I don't know how to say it in Spanish. I don't know how to say it in Spanish, but I don't know how to say it in Spanish. He's my friend. Okay, okay, he's my friend.

Speaker 2:

We have a program together.

Speaker 1:

He's my friend, he's my friend, he's my friend, he's my friend, he's my friend, he's my friend, he's my friend. In the end it also kills tourism. The tourists are also less Correct. So in Otamira the cost for here was also more Exactly. That's why a lesson for the piano of history is a lesson that I needed. That's why a lesson for other countries you can develop tourism here, but here you can't develop it when you go a kilometer away, tourism stops.

Speaker 3:

You have to go back there, you know you have to go back.

Speaker 2:

You can't go back to where you are Because it's fucked up.

Speaker 1:

You have to go back home you have to go back.

Speaker 2:

You have to go back to the internet. You have to go back. I are still here.

Speaker 3:

You have a laptop to use the internet. I will ask you a question. You have a question about history and culture. Do you have a foundation? A foundation?

Speaker 1:

A historical cultural foundation, a modern one.

Speaker 3:

What is the function of the foundation?

Speaker 1:

It is a safeguard. Our history and our culture are safeguarded in a serious sense. Salvaguardia nos historia, nos cultura, salvaguardia de sentido, graba nos grande dan as investigacion de historia, cultura, naturaleza. Tambien ultimo tempo nos tem biblioteca co book que tende a ver co tur isla de antia, holandesa, o book que podamos pasar na holanda pero to cante nos historia, the tour island of the Dutch. Or the book that we can find in the Netherlands but that is written playing our stories. We have a collection of more or less 5,500 books. We also have what we call the Caribbean Aruba, arubiana, arubiana. Right, we have a library here. We have 5,500 books. We have a lot of books with the rooms.

Speaker 3:

The books are digitalized right.

Speaker 2:

No, not yet.

Speaker 1:

That's the only thing we have here. Yes, not yet. We have the right to author. We have to contact the author, but many times we have to digitize it, put it on the website. After 50 years the author of this book has died. We can't do it with the book of Johan Hartog. He wrote the book. He wrote the book of Boneiro. He wrote the book of Boneiro. He wrote the book of Boneiro. He wrote the book of Boneiro. He wrote the book. He wrote the book. He that it's a little bit complicated, but the book is not 50. It's not Bonero. Yes, we have to digitize it, but we are also asking.

Speaker 1:

We have a website called archivobonerocom. There you have all the information we have. We have more websites. It's cubomêsorg. If we are dealing with, our website is cubomesorg. Here we deal with the information we have. We want to promote, we want to save, we want to promote our knowledge of our history, culture and nature, but also to make us them conscious, make them proud of their roots, of their island, of their culture, of their nature. This is basically the work of Fuy Kubo. In a shorter way, we have a program of television, a one-hour program. We have another program called Aki Boneiro, where we are interviewed in animation. He is an artist, for example. Aruba also makes us different from the type of program there painter or poet. We have two programs there and Korant. I have Korant. For two months I went to Cuba, but apart, but I have two of Korant. So I have Korant and Shopee To put information about culture, history and nature. So Korant is digital too.

Speaker 3:

But it's paper.

Speaker 1:

I have that Korant 100%. Make sure it's digital too For people who are from the Netherlands.

Speaker 3:

100%, make sure you put it in digital so people can see it in Dutch 20 pages.

Speaker 1:

It's been 5 years since COVID started. Until now, the situation has changed, with our ministry starting with a course to get extra for drug use. I don't know if you can see it, but I'm going to show you the page. I'm going to show you the page. I'm going to show you the page. I'm going to show you the page. I'm going to show you the page. I'm going to show you the page. I'm going to show you the page. Now, there is something special that I don't know if I've seen. There are more than 24, 28 pages, for example, for Easter, special dates, but there is a Koran. Too bad, I didn't come with one with a sword it's called Bonaireano.

Speaker 1:

Bonaireano the head of the Koran is designed for a person that I met a month ago in Aruba, rogelio Montero oh shit, god damn it.
