 Introduction

Saba Island is the smallest Carribean island that is located in the north eastern region of the carribean sea. The island is well known for its ambiguous culture,beautiful blue waters, and the extravagantly gifted forms of art. Over the course of two centuries this beautiful island has endured a handful of cultural changes that have helped shape the prolific culture that is seen in Saba today. This encouraged other cultures to join the ambiguous group of cultures that already presided in Saba. It is a melting pot of Dutch, French, spanish, and English. Along with the features of over four different religions to choose from. However it did not start this way. Before two hundred years ago Saba was the focal point in a battle between nations as to who fully owns the land. What people did not see coming years in the future was that all the trading and migration shocked the culture of Saba.

In the Saba island due to the islnd being traded several times from nation to nation in their past, Their culture is very ambigeous so when it came to the traditions of the culture they were divded spiritually.

Creating a mixture of tribes, cultures and nations. The island of Sint Eustatius sent people to the Saba island in order to colonize there. This further brought more cultural diversity to the island.
