Proteha Mi is a community archaeology project. It wishes to contribute to the protection of Bonaire's rich heritage through community stories, the knowledge where heritage sites are located and what they consist of, the establishment of heritage policies. The project also invests in local capacity (field training & equipment).
Starting points:
- Knowledge about Bonaire's past is with the Bonaireans
- The community is central
