The last time I went to micronesia was in 1973 but it was to chuck. I still have yap in my heart. My father's ashes were spread in yap. I still have my yap state flag.

Thunder and lightning “yes”. they’ve been to South America and Southeast Asia. It’s because nobody wrote their expedition people these day believed in their own perspective.

    I am a Micronesian, to be specific, I am a mixture of Belauan (Republic of Palau) and Chamolinian (Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands). My mother is Palauan from the island of Peleliu, ROP and my father is Chamolinian from the island of Agrigan, CNMI. I am what you call a Americanized Micronesian (Micro-American), I was born in 1980, born in Saipan, CNMI but raised in both Arai, ROP and Saipan, CNMI. I have duo citizenship status; I am both a US Citizen (the CNMI is a US territory) and a Palau Citizen and very heavily influence to American culture and patriotism while growing up. Which means, I was never fully taught the ways of both my cultures this includes speaking my native tongues. It's sad that now I am 41 yrs of age living in Saipan to this day and I am still the same. I don't practice my culture as much and speak as much. I wish I never ended like this but what can I do - I can't go back in time, all I can do is live life the best of my know how here on this tiny island I call home. BIBA SAN KATAN NA ISLAS AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

    That's true. They don't really teach that much history about the Micronesian islands in the US, I think because we're more recent in their history. The first time America had anything to do with the Micronesian Islands was during World War II. Which is only about 80 years ago. But they teach a lot about Hawaii, because they had a longer history with Hawaii (like 200 years) and Hawaii was an important part to America's economy back then. The sugar plantations I believe.

Eastern Micronesians are Outer island Palauans of Pulo ano, Sonsorol & Hatohobei, Outer islanders of Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, Kosrae, Marshall islanders, Gilbert islanders & Nauru excluding Kirilis islanders frm Kapingamarangi & Nukuoro because they are Polynesian outliers. Western Micronesians can directly trace their origins frm Southeast Asia & parts of Northern Papua while Eastern Micronesians can directly trace their culture, language, lineage & clans frm Solomon islands & Fiji. if u look closely Eastern languages are quite very different frm Western Micronesian languages even though they are all Austronesian languages. also the custom of chewing bettlenut which is strongly practiced in Southeast Asia. Eastern Micronesians & the rest of Oceania dont practice that.

    @@smallislandenormousculture3023 That's exactly what this individual was talking about. Listed islands who were Melanesian intermixing with the Austronesian Micronesian and Polynesian are the people in the Salomon Islands, Fiji, Yap, and Palau. They speak Melanesian language, look Melanesian, but culturally and genetically mixed with the Austronesian of Micronesia and Polynesia. Languages are totally different, especially from Yap but Palau, Fiji and the Salomon islands language by now had already been influenced and mixed with the Austronesian language as well. So we can easily detect some Austronesian language influenced from these groups. Kapingamarangi and Nukuoro were last migrating groups down from Polynesia into Micronesia before this group divided up into two: Micronesia and Polynesia. Then there were the earliest contacts and interbreeding among those two Groups of Polynesia and Micronesia with the Melanesian thus resulted with these Melanesian cousins being discussed from the Salomon islands in PNG, Fiji of Polynesia, then Yap and Palau of Micronesia. Chamorros of Guam and Saipan were just like Kapingamarangi and Nukuoro as being the later arriving group, but this Chamorros came up from Indonesia and the Philipines during the European occupation to assume nativity and repopulating the islands of the Marianas and Guam by the Europeans. Due to them speak and look so similarly as the killed off Micronesian native of those islands at the time, in the eyes of the European they were just one and the same to repopulate the dying natives of the Marianas who were actually part of the Carolinian family group of Micronesia. People often think the Chamoros are the natives of Marianas but they were the earliest mixed with whatever left of the Carolinian in the Marianas who became more dominant and influencing whatever remains of the native Carolinian of Micronesia under the Spanish control to assume claim of being the native of the area. The Carolinan never stop returning and made contact with the Marianas. The late arriving Carolinian following the dying groups are now then became the foreigners in their own territory because now the Chamoro sat on the lands with their descendants of the dying Carolinian, European and their newly populating and dominant freshly migrating South East Asian ancestors from Indonesia and the Philipines to lay claim of nativity and claimed the Chamorro identity.

    Smallislandenormousculture there was never a great Migration story. Every island, every clan, every village of each of every island has their own migration stories meaning one huge group of people(austronesians) did not just pick up & go. They moved from one place to another. They moved through southeast asia & coexisted with natives that were already there. After population growth war might have broke out between visiting groups, they might have lost & had to pick up & leave again. This happened on long periods of times. Or maybe there was a difference in climate that may have caused them to move. The islands of Chuuk alone has so many clans with so many migration history.

Our ancestors were called the Pintados full of tattoos and no clothes on top. Europeans/Magellan came and changed all that. I'm trying to learn my brothers and sisters from the Pacific islands. We all share the same culture and beliefs. Hope someday I can visit the Micronesia islands.

I can picture my Lolo sailing to your islands with chicken and pigs in his boat. Hope to visit your islands someday. I grew up in Panay island, Iloilo City. Hope you also can visit us here. Long ago there's no borders and immigration. Our ancestors probably just sail back and forth in those islands . We have one town that speaks similar to Tonga. I'll be darn. They're really great sailors of the Pacific.

    There are about 330 permanent inhabitants on Banana even to this day. Banabans hold both Fijian and I-Kiribati citizenship. The majority (95%) of Banabans live on Rabi in Fiji. Politically Banana belongs to Kiribati however it is adminstered from Fiji by the traditional owners of the land, the Rabi Council of Leaders and Elders. The Banabans speak the I-Kiribati language and are culturally similar to the I-Kiribati people.

    Thank you very much! In terms of what people of Guam do for a living, is work in the service industry such as tourism and restaurants, although the biggest employer is the government of Guam. Then there is employment by the US federal government or military. Joining the US military is also another option that many people do. Tourism on Guam mainly come from the countries of Japan and South Korea. Guam usually receives about a 1 million plus tourist a year. So Guam is quite a popular destination. Those countries are about a 4-5 hour flight away. So tourism is less limited by distance, but more limited and dependent on the economies of Japan and South Korea since that's where most tourist come from.

    Ok so just a question regarding the map that was shown. On google maps, the island of Nauru is shown as more north than the Gilbert islands, with the gilbert islands alot more south and spread apart than the map on the video shows. Not that it changes anything of what consists of the entire micronesian island group and its history but more of how we percieve it from our prospective locations. A miscalculation of relative distance can distort the reality of just how big and small things are espcially when it comes to how maps and globes represent distance and size to its smaller scale. Just a curious thought once I heard the islands total area compared to the size of america. Correct me if Im wrong or missing something....
