    Guam and CNMI Military Relocation Draft EIS/OEIS (November 2009) CHAPTER 12. CULTURAL RESOURCES 12.1 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 12.1.1 Definition of Resource Cultural resources are defined as any district, site, building, structure, or object considered to be important to a culture, subculture, or community for scientific, traditional, religious, or any other reason. Cultural resources include pre-Contact (before European contact) and post-Contact archaeological resources, architectural resources, and traditional cultural properties. The cultural resources discussed in this chapter only include those that meet the specific criteria of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and its associated regulations. Pre-Contact and post-Contact archaeological resources are areas or locations (sites) where human activity measurably altered the earth or left deposits of physical remains. Archaeological resources can be identified and evaluated for significance according to each site‘s cultural importance, integrity, and ability to yield important information. Architectural resources are standing buildings, dams, canals, bridges, and other structures of historic or aesthetic significance. Traditional cultural properties are resources associated with cultural practices and beliefs of a living community that are rooted in its history and are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the community; such properties may not always be represented by archaeological or architectural resources. In general, specific locations of archaeological sites and traditional cultural properties are not revealed to the public because of the concern of vandalism or cultural sensitivity. Therefore, figures with specific locations of archaeological sites would not be presented in this chapter. However, figures with commonly known sites are presented in Volume 2, Chapter 9, Recreational Resources of this Environmental Impact Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (EIS/OEIS).

    GHRA 45th Anniversary Special 1 Message from the President Hafa Adai! In the last 45 years, GHRA has focused on improving business-community relations through its public and private partnerships to serve as a liaison for the tourism industry and advocate issues that govern the conduct of business on Guam. GHRA has helped address government and non-government organizations to better serve its members by staying connected, provid- ing key information and representing the issues with an industry perspective. GHRA continues to explore ways to develop economic growth, sustainability and improve service standards for our island, residents and visitors. In addition, GHRA has educated members by providing training programs through workshops, seminars, certification courses, and scholarships; supported industry employees through social sports leagues and recognition programs at annual events such as HERO awards, Beyond the Call of Duty for Integrity and Life Saving awards, International Housekeeper’s Week, and Gold- en Latte awards; and coordinated special events for networking and showcasing products such as PHARE, Taste Guam, Industry Night, and the GHRA Social. Going forward, GHRA will also continue to serve an important role in compliance and regulatory affairs, expand workforce develop- ment programs by partnering with the Guam Community College, GCA Trades Academy and Guam Department of Labor, educate members on best practices and industry news, and improve communications while creating new programs and services with its members. GHRA has helped the industry grow! Guam’s tourism has seen arrivals exceed 1.5 million visitors, on-island spending average $1,150 per person, Hotel Occupancy Tax collect $37 million, and Gross Receipts Tax grow more than $50 million.

    Guam and CNMI Military Relocation Final EIS (July 2010) CHAPTER 12. CULTURAL RESOURCES 12.1 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 12.1.1 Definition of Resource Cultural resources are defined as any district, site, building, structure, or object considered to be important to a culture, subculture, or community for scientific, traditional, religious, or any other reason. Cultural resources include pre-Contact (before European contact) and post-Contact archaeological resources, architectural resources, and traditional cultural properties. The cultural resources discussed in this chapter include those that meet the specific criteria of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and its associated regulations. However other cultural resources such as plants, animals, or geological materials may be important to a culture, but are not eligible under the NHPA. Impacts to these resources are discussed as impacts under NEPA. Information on traditionally used plants and animals is presented in Volume 9, Appendix G. Pre-Contact and post-Contact archaeological resources are areas or locations (sites) where human activity measurably altered the earth or left deposits of physical remains. Archaeological resources can be identified and evaluated for significance according to each site’s cultural importance, integrity, and ability to yield important information. Architectural resources are standing buildings, dams, canals, bridges, and other structures of historic or aesthetic significance. Traditional cultural properties are resources associated with cultural practices and beliefs of a living community that are rooted in its history and are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the community; such properties may not always be represented by archaeological or architectural resources.

Mr. Speaker, for too brief a time, our island was blessed by the life of Angel L. G. Santos. Anghet L.G. Santos was the catalyst in the creation of the Nasion Chamoru, an organization commitment to the preservation of our Chamorro culture. Anghet played a prominent role in the implementation of the Chamorro Land Trust Act, by engaging in protests at Adelup and filing lawsuits along with the other members of the Nasion Chamoru. As a senator and colleague, Anghet, fought for the adoption of the Rules and Regulations of the Chamorro Land Trust Commission. The late Senator was a pillar of Guam's Chamorro heritage and an advocate for Chamorro indigenous rights.
