The Dutch West Indians, originating from former Dutch colonies in the Caribbean like Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, represent a diverse population with a rich cultural heritage. Their identity is a fusion of Dutch colonial influence, African traditions, and indigenous customs, creating a vibrant tapestry of traditions and values. Over time, Dutch West Indian immigrants have dispersed globally, including significant numbers who have made their way to the United States.
In the U.S., states such as Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, and New Mexico have become home to substantial Dutch West Indian communities. Oklahoma stands out with the highest population, totaling 10,748 individuals, reflecting a historical trend of migration and settlement. These numbers signify the enduring legacy of Dutch West Indian immigration to the United States and highlight their contributions to American society.
