According to one tradition he named the territory “Oro Hubo”, hoping to find gold (Oro) there, thus the name Aruba. But it seems that the name, instead, is derived from the Arawak Indian word “Oibubai” which means “Guide” or maybe from the Indian word "oruba", which means well placed", or again maybe from the Carib Indian words "ora" - meaning "shell" - and "oubao" - meaning "island. The Spanish thought the island was useless, the climate was too arid for agriculture, and there was no gold found. They abandoned the island which soon became a clandestine hideaway for pirates and bucaneer. In 1636 Dutch settlers, expelled from St Marteen by the Spanish, captured the islands of Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire. Since then, except from 1805 to 1815 when the British took the island during the Napoleonic Wars, Aruba remained under Dutch control.

Since then, except from 1805 to 1815 when the British took the island during the Napoleonic Wars, Aruba remained under Dutch control. Gold was discovered in the northwestern part of the island in 1824, and there was a gold rush until 1916, when the mines were shut down. A few years later Aruba started refining oil and the island became one of the world’s largest refinery.

46. Travel And Culture: Aruba An average day in aruba is quite active, but I m not sure it can beat More Travel and culture Articles, By Alys W., Cincinnati, OH. Send your work Email a Friend http://www.teenink.com/Past/2003/December/17237.html

Aruba by Nick N., Randolph, NJ "Nick, come on, get up, we're going to miss our flight!" my parents screamed. It was 4 a.m. and I wasn't in the mood to get up. Then it kicked in: We were going on vacation! I quickly got ready and was the first in the car. It was pouring rain and windy the whole way to the airport. The weather was depressing and I couldn't wait to get out of there. A few hours later, we took off for paradise. While others slept, I was kept wide-awake by my excitement. "Ladies and gentlemen, we will be landing in 20 minutes," the pilot announced. At this, my face became practically glued to the window. My eyes widened at the breathtaking scene that made the six-hour flight worthwhile. The sky was a rich blue, the water was a clean aqua, and palm and divi trees were scattered about. The moment I stepped out of the plane, I knew I was in heaven. I was in Aruba. After checking in, I was ready to explore. What better place to start than the beach? I took a long walk, taking in the spectacular views. About 40 miles away, Venezuela was easily visible. Walking along the palm tree lined beach, my body was warmed by the 80-degree weather. All day, every day, I was either in the water or on the sand. I went kayaking, wind-surfing, parasailing and wake boarding. Besides these, there were endless beach activities: volleyball, soccer, flying a kite, or simply relaxing.

Aruba - Culture The westernmost of the Caribbean islands, Aruba lies just 18 miles off the coast of Venezuela and 42 miles west of Curacao. The island covers an area of 70 square miles, 20 miles at its longest and 6 miles at its widest. Approximately 81,000 people reside here full time, and more than 540,000 visit during the course of a year. The southern, leeward side of the island is famous for its long stretches of powdery white sand beach, while the northern coast features a rugged and dramatic landscape and secluded coves ideal for swimming. Arubans are gymnastic linguists, many of them speaking four languages: Dutch, English, Spanish and Papiamento, sometimes in the same conversation. Papiamento is a melodious language derived from every culture that has impacted on the region, including traces of Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French and local Indian languages. It's spoken throughout the Netherlands Antilles but is more Spanish-based on Aruba, an indication of the island's closer ties with the South American mainland. Making an effort to use a few Papiamento words will delight your Aruban hosts. Bon bini (welcome) is the first Papiamento you'll come across. Another word you'll hear is dushi, which means sweet or lovely; women will hear it more than men. The Arawak heritage is stronger on Aruba than on most Caribbean islands, though the indigenous language and culture did not last long into the 19th century. No full-blooded Indians remain, but the features of the islanders clearly indicate their genetic heritage. The majority of the population is descended from Arawak, Dutch and Spanish ancestors. Arawak petroglyphs can be seen in several parts of the island, including Fontein cave in the Arikok National Park, and an Indian village is still being excavated at Tanki Flip. Artefacts on view in Oranjestad's Archaeological Museum give clues to the customs of daily and ceremonial Arawak life: there are burial urns and a bone spatula thought to have been used as a vomiting stick to prepare men for ceremonies.

Aruba North America CULTURE Aruba's 88,000 inhabitants reflect it's history of settlement, acquisition, and immigration. The native Aruban population has ethnic roots in Arawak, African, and European peoples, reflected in the local foods, architecture, celebrations, and languages, and you'll find a healthy mix of expatriates, about 10,000, from Europe, the Caribbean, and Latin America working in various industries on our island. Culturally, aruba has strong ties to Holland, it's colonial occupier and presen-day partner in the Netherlands kingdom. The official language of the island is Dutch, seen on street signs, government documents, and several local newspapers. English is spoken by most Arubans, particularly those in the tourism business. The island's lingua franca, however, is Papiamento, a lyrical language that envolved from Spanish and Portuguese, Dutch, some French, English, and a smattering of African languages. To the ear papaiamneto sounds a great deal like Spanish, and it's not surprising that Spanish-speaking visitors from Venezuela and other Latin American countries have little problem communicating on the island. The language is thought to have envolved in Curacao during the 16th century, when slaves and their Spanish owners developed common ground in which to communicate. Keeping in mind that spelling varies within the language, and among the islands that use it (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao).
