the island's story
Before being recorded in 1492, indigenous Lucayans called Grand Bahama island their home, and Siboneys settled before them, leaving behind only a few pottery shards and shell beads. Fortunately, their stories live on without ever being written through the artifacts found in the caves within Lucayan National Park and Deadman’s Reef.
