On November 15, 1955, the Government of the Island Territory of Aruba officially approved our coat of arms. A coat of arms represents the identity of a country and its people. This Saturday, our coat of arms will celebrate 70 years since its official approval by the Island Council.
In connection with this, the Department of Culture Aruba (DCA) will hold the commemoration by informing and educating the public through their digital platform www.cultura.aw. On this platform, all information about our national symbols, our identity, and our history is presented in an educational and informative manner for both national and international audiences. Junior Arends, spokesperson for the Department of Culture, provides further details.
