Overview

I received a few days ago information from the St. Eustatius Tourist Bureau:
"St.Eustatius is in the process of having it's own Flag and Coat of Arms. The proceudure takes a very long time due to the fact that different committee have to go through all documentation and research the design and colours etc. We were hoping to have all this done by November 16th which Statia Day, but this will not maerialize until in 2001. Hoping to have inform you accordingly."

The procedure to come to a flag and Coat of Arms for St.Eustatius (started April 2000) still didn't lead to the adoption of a flag and CoA.

International civic arms shows St. Eustatius Coat of Arms adopted by the island council in 2002. The Coat of Arms has a motto in Latin: "SUPERBA ET CONFIDENS" meaning Proud and Confidence.
