i POST THIS HERE as a REMINDER of DUTCH HERITAGE re the INDO PROJECT 9 www.theIndoProject.org
i POST THIS HERE as a REMINDER of DUTCH HERITAGE, AND OUR CONNECTION to SOME of the INDONESIANS DUE TO THE COLONIZATION of a part of indonesia. I attended this Dutch-American festival recently in Long Beach, California (near bellflower's Dutch community) and was surprised to find several indonesian-dutch-american groups and individuals also celebrating their dutch-american heritage. I talked to a gal from the Indo Project about it and she informs me that a lot of her people speak or spoke Dutch just like our ancestors from the Netherlands. She was very nice and I felt a kinship with her based on this heritage as well.So let us remember our Indo-Dutch-American brothers & sisters as well when we celebrate our Dutch heritage.
