oh wow ur not that far. let me know if u want to link up with our Micro people here in Milan so we can work things out..
Micronesians, Polynesians, Melanesians, Papuans, And Australian Aboriginals have a common theme that being they are all true Natives to different parts of Oceania
That's awesome! Never heard of Milan let alone Chuukese(Micronesian) leaving and getting recognized there!
I was looking at something else on You tube when I came upon this story by accident. I am Micronesian myself. Pohnpei is my Island. I've spent most of my life in Hawaii and other states and have been in Minnesota several times but never did I think that there would be a community of Micronesians living there. What a wonderful surprise. I'm absolutely blown away. My grandfather is from the Mortlock Islands, by the way. So ran anlim ngeni ami menisin. I hope I said that correctly. I'd like to congradulate the two men who made the video. Great job and very well done. Aloha to you all.

God Bless the Micronesian people everybody bleeds red and everybody want's to live and be happy, Give peace ah chance, love and Aloha!
I'm Proud of you guys! I just wish the Micronesians here in Hawaii do the same. Like stand up and work hard. I'm not saying all I'm just saying. But yes I'm proud to be Micronesian 👍
Such an interesting video! I'm from Uman, Chuuk but I reside in Washington. It's great to see others doing so well :) I hope this continues on! But I agree that the title is a bit misleading, and should be more specific. There are numerous cultures within Micronesia, and this one is about the Chuukese people. Great video though!!
Thanks for the video. Awesome and superb!!! I want my "aramas" to continue on with our lovely culture. Share with others, live happily, work together and learn from each other, especially your respected neighbors. Please remember our saying, it goes like this: "Ekichuu, Angechuu, me Tipechuu" It means to have one mindset, one cooperation and one heart" Kot epwe tumunukemi puan afeiochukemi.
Waiooo you guys are awesome!👍
I was the first micronesian Mwaokilloa/Pohnpei in Austin High school MN back in 2000. Now there's a bunch including my family still there. And then I thought I'd be the only Micronesian here in Mason City IA, now there is a bunch more.... I dont really communicate with them due to the fact that I'm accustomed to the north Iowa life. But I still stop and talk when I see one. Big shout out to you all keeping it real up there in a dinky little midwest town.
Chuukese are very nice peopple..enjoy your new home.
The real Indigenous Micronesian's!..I'm Samoan we our South Poly Family!

This is more about the culture of Chuukese. They're from the Caroline islands which are the Federated States of Micronesia in the REGION of Micronesia which include Guam, Palau, Marshall islands, Kiribati, etc. Micronesians are Chuukese, Yapese, Pohnpeian, Kosraean, Marshallese, Kiribati, Nauruan, Chamorro, Palauan, etc. when put together.... But these are just Chuukese. Nice video :)

When Micronesia (the cultural/geographic region) sends their people to the U.S., they don't send their best. They send blue-collar losers who live off of welfare, not affluent smart people.
Oh yes. One more thing. Great title. It's the spirit that counts. Plus, when your doing a video and post it in a place like KZread, you want maximum coverage and that means using a name that is more familiar to attract more viewers. So Micronesia is the way to go in this instance. Just my opinion.
Great story, which many other growing ethnic groups around the state could probably relate. I would like to see more communities throughout the state work-together to help one another out.
My grandpa was one of the first people to come to the United States
This is very interesting and a beautiful story of Micronesian living in the Mainland. I just have to say that they should have titled it Micronesians: Chuukese Life in America or something like that. I say that because not all Micronesians are male dominated. Palau, Marshall and Guam are matriarchal societies and have been for centuries. I think it's imperative that people, especially here in the mainland who don't have a lot of exposure to micronesians, know that Micronesia is not one culture but many. And not all are the same. There are similarities, yes. But not all Micronesian women prefer to be stay at home mom's. Most Palauan women prefer to go out and work. Growing up on the island I remember a lot of women owning businesses, including my mom. Based on my 17 years of life at home in Palau and almost 11 years of on and off reading and research about my culture, I wouldn't say Palau is a female dominated culture. We are matriarchal and women do love to work - do assume and take on a lot roles and responsibilities. But not female dominated, no. Men and women work alongside each other both outside and within the home. So as much as this is a beautiful story it doesn't speak for all micronesains.

Chiefs in pre-contact Marianas consisted of both brother and sister, children of a Maga'håga (Female chief). Considering how Chamorros and Palauans both came directly from the Philippines/Indonesia, it's not too suprising to learn that we both had that same gender equity

Great story. Although, It should be made clear that Micronesia is made up made of many different people and cultures. Saying Micronesian is exactly the same as saying Asian or European.
Waioooooo... me kan ai kei aramas aaa...
I'm Filipino, and Native American mixed of both European and African roots , but people swear I'm Samoan, Fijian, or Tongan so my whole life I've been with my Samoan brothers, I have my beautiful Samoan wife and we have 2 girls and 2 baby boys. My in laws are in disbelief when I tell them that I'm not Samoan, because they swear I'm Samoan based on my appearance.

Filipinos do have a common ancestor with the Polynesians and Micronesians thou.. but that was 2 thousand yrs ago before the separation throughout the pacific occurred. So right NOW the two categories poly & micro are distantly different from the Filipinos..
