Micronesia: The islands of
Kiribati, Guam,
Nauru, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Palau, and the Federated States of Micronesia (Yap,
Chuuk,
Pohnpei, and Kosrae, all in
the Caroline Islands).
The Chamorro people or
Chamoru people are the indigenous people of the Mariana Islands, which include the American territory of Guam and the United States Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands in Micronesia. Today, significant Chamoru populations also exist in several U.S. states including Hawaii, California, Washington, Texas and Nevada. According to the 2000 Census, approximately 65,000 people of Chamoru ancestry live on Guam and another 19,000 live in the Northern Marianas. Another 93,000 live outside the Marianas ( in Hawaii and West/Pacific coast of USA ). The Chamoru are primarily of Austronesian stock.
Most Chamorros are Roman Catholic and few in the Marianas still maintain some customs and beliefs from the time before the first European conquests. Some residents of the Marianas will still ask permission from ancestral spirits before entering parts of jungles. Traditional healers called suruhanas are still greatly respected for their knowledge of herbal treatments and spirits. Before Spanish colonization, Chamoru life centered on one's clan. Today, large extended families remain central to life in the Marianas.
Example:
Are you "flip"
No im
chamorro
Whats the diffrence
We have poly decent and we evolved
But still what is the diffrence??
Ok a "flip" would let you ask that question one more time but a "chamorro" is about to
knock you out
Chamorros are good people just because they lost some of their culture due to spanish and ww2 effects doest mean that they are not
islanders but they are islanders that have lost their way.
