I was stationed on Guam in the 70’s. I have yet to meet a friendlier culture of people. They opened their homes and events to us. I was completely unaware of American impact on their culture and way of life. Once again I am ashamed of my country’s policies and impact on the world, but I am in awe of these peoples fight to reclaim their way of life. It is my profound hope that both of us can rescue our cultures by changing our own lives, living by example, and being of service to others.

I am a Chamorro living in the United States deep in the South where nobody understands or knows much about Guam or it's culture. This is extremely important. It is amazingly beautiful and empowering to see people who are taking action AND to see those who are trying to educate the rest of the world about things that are never talked about! Grateful for this video. :) DECOLONIZE GUAM!

My old coworker is Chamorro, and she said that the big reason why spam is so universally loved on Guam is because canned meats will stay good even when weather causes power outages. I can see the appeal of processed trash food when the alternative is going hungry or the risk of food poisoning. I don't doubt that there's a convenience factor as well. I know that I don't grow, hunt, or gather any of my own food, and I wouldn't know where to start if I needed to. Maybe if we want these remote Pacific islands for strategic military operations, we should at least compensate by building infrastructure that can withstand regularly occurring weather patterns, especially if we're going to keep enforcing the archaic and actually market stifling Jones Act.

But nobody hates Spanish people lol not at all.

Guam had like 10,000 people when the American's took it in 1898. It's good to appreciate your culture and eat better ... but there is no way this tiny island can support it's current population of 170k people 'living off the land' in a traditional manner. They'd need to strip the island and build massive farms or something which is just as culturally transformative as what already happened.

@hailbones6666

Жыл бұрын

If the military base was removed or reduced in size, that would be a big factor. The current population includes military personnel and immigrants to Guam who work for the military personnel. Only 40% of Guam is native Chamorro. Yes, 68,000 is larger than 10,000, but it's certainly not the 170k that needs support.

So refreshing to see these young people take matters into hand and stop getting themselves pushed around. Especially the girl talks very wisely. It's really sad to see how governments poison people with lowest quality of meat and hazardous pesticides but the worst is the crime that has been done to mankind with invention and development of the atomic bomb. Now I would like to see another video on Iran about how traditional clay fridge houses, fresh water supply through ancient canalization and techniques for air conditioned architecture without use of electricity got destroyed so the west could sell their electric fridges and air conditioning to us. Iran has a major power supply issue and they really have to go back to their roots and depend less on gadgets when they have their own indigenous ways.

What the hell does what you just said have to do with the price of tea in China moron? I made a point about their local culture and food. As in it should be preserved and brought back as 1) it's clearly a healthier diet. Apparently your IQ is so low that you entirely missed the part in the video about the health and obesity problems on the island. 2) Food is closely linked to culture. In order to preserve their unique culture they need to bring back their original diet to some degree. So what the hell does that have to do with any possible invasion, and your obnoxious response towards me? But let's unpack your idiotic point since you brought it up. It's funny how so many Pacific island nations such as Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Marshall islands etc ....are all doing just fine. No one is invading them. Nor are they under any threat of such a thing outside of your over active imagination. But I guess you are looking to excuse colonialism and imperialism because it just bothers you that any indigenous people take issue with their subjegation. I guess they should just know their place huh? You seem like the type that is just fine with colonialism and imperialism....... when the US does it. I am sure you HATE it when any other country does it (#hyopocrisysucks). Guam was colonised you half wit. The US was not their government before that. Nor did they vote or elect to be a US colony (I thought the US was all about democracy). So I guess you were right that they would be invaded..... because their current government is the one that invaded them. The irony in that vis a vie your obnoxious response is hilarious. That all being said.....Guam is what it is. Whatever it becomes or doesn't should be up to the local people. And at the very least they have every right in the world to assert their culture and its preservation. Whether idiots like you like it or not.

Reintroduce your traditions, take back your island, eat the old way and regain your health. Wishing you and your people all the best and never give up.

Even then, people were lamenting how much the culture had changed the way people fed themselves. My friends told me that in the past when someone killed carabou, the whole community gathered to feast on it.

It’s hard to fight for independence. Especially trying to fight it from the US. The US can’t keep their hands off of anyone’s land sadly. The money they have, the much power they can get and keep. Same thing with Hawaiʻi. Hawaiʻi loves spam and American fast food. Mostly 99.9% of our food comes from the mainland.

Stand up for your country and Land, Many blessings.

Micronesians especially Chamorros, other guammese are more genetically related and have the same origins as Indonesians, Thais, Cambodians, Vietnamese, etc.. while Polynesians including Hawaai, and Māori , have more genetic relationships with the Filipinos, Native Taiwanese and Madagascar . warm greetings from NZ

does the younger generation in Hawaii speak their language ? I've been wandering because no one my age can speak Chamorro :/

In Rota they used to grow tons of fresh fruit and veg and ship it to Guam. The whole business ended because to few people would buy it.

"Our food independence is our political independence." This speaks for us all. We need a paradigm shift in our culture in order to leave a livable world for future generations.

Independence for Guam and Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷❤️🇧🇿

Excuse me! $7 for butter and $9 for a gallon of milk. Those food better be comprised of gold. I’m so proud of them for reviving their almost extinct culture.

Those are similar to the prices of butter and milk in New Zealand (where a good portion of the world's dairy product is made.) NZ $7 for 500gms (1lb) of butter and the absolutely cheapest milk at $3.50 for 2 litres (about 0.5 gallon.)

In Okinawa, spam also popular there. Local onikiri is made of spam coz US base is on the island. And it's even more weird than Guam as Guam is still US but Okinawa is Japanese island and yet spam is popular dish unlike elsewhere in Japan.

i havent had red rice since i was 10 and livin at guam, man i miss it so much. that guam flavored red rice. and that crackin coconut candy. damn them was the days.

Well this was interesting and a diversion from the usual construction related videos I watch.

With its climate Guam can plant lemongrass, pandanus, kaffir lime, ginger, galangal which in turn can be used to cook really delicious seafood that is abundant there.

As a Puerto Rican I highly respect them

I lived on an island for a couple of years in BWI on the island of Anguilla. It became quickly apparent that no people truly possess freedom if they cant even grow their own food.

I’m half black & Singaporean & was raised by chamorra’s cuz my stepped dad married my mom. I always wanted to give back to the people for raising me
