Through you I have witnessed the persistence and endurance of my ancestors who never failed in constructing a latte. I gima` taotao mo`na the house of the ancient people. Hågu i acho` latte-ku. You are my latte stone. The latte stone (acho` latte) was once the foundation of Chamoru homes in the Mariana Islands. It was carved out of limestone or basalt and varied in size, measuring between three and sixteen feet in height. It contained two parts, the tasa (a cup-like shape, the top portion of the latte) and the haligi (the bottom pillar) and were organized into two rows, with three to seven latte stones per row. Today, several latte stones still stand, and there are also many remnants of them throughout the Marianas. Though Chamorus no longer use latte stones as the foundations of their homes, the latte symbolize the strength of the Chamorus and their culture as well as their resiliency in times of change.

  • An Analysis of Archaeological and Historical Data
    AN ANALYSIS OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL DATA ON FISHERIES FOR PELAGIC SPECIES IN GUAM AND THE NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS Prepared for Pelagic Fisheries Research Program Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology University of Hawai’i at Mānoa By Judith R. Amesbury and Rosalind L. Hunter-Anderson Micronesian Archaeological Research Services A Guam Non-Profit Corporation May 2008 ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors acknowledge the valuable contribution of Foss Leach and Janet Davidson, Honorary Research Associates of the Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa. Their recent analyses of fish bones from archaeological sites on Guam, included as Appendices A and B to this report, have changed the picture of pelagic fishing in the Mariana Islands during the Prehistoric Period. The authors also acknowledge the valuable contribution of Wakako Higuchi, Research Associate, Micronesian Area Research Center, University of Guam. Her study of the pre-war Japanese pole-and-line fishery in Saipan, included as Appendix C to this report, makes some of the information about this fishery available in English for the first time. For help in obtaining the post-war 20th century fishery data contained in Chapter 4, Judith Amesbury thanks the following people: Brent Tibbatts, Fisheries Biologist, Guam Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources; Keith Bigelow, Fishery Biologist, Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS); David Hamm, Chief of the Fisheries Monitoring and Socioeconomics Division, PIFSC, NMFS; and Paul Dalzell, Senior Scientist, Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council. For help with the interviews contained in Chapter 5, Judith Amesbury thanks John Calvo, Guam Coordinator, and Jack Ogumoro, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Coordinator, Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council.

  • Cnmi As a Fishing Community
    NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-PIFSC-36 November 2012 Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands As a Fishing Community Stewart D. Allen and Judith R. Amesbury Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center National Marine Fisheries Service National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration U.S. Department of Commerce About this document The mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is to understand and predict changes in the Earth’s environment and to conserve and manage coastal and oceanic marine resources and habitats to help meet our Nation’s economic, social, and environmental needs. As a branch of NOAA, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) conducts or sponsors research and monitoring programs to improve the scientific basis for conservation and management decisions. NMFS strives to make information about the purpose, methods, and results of its scientific studies widely available. NMFS’ Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) uses the NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS series to achieve timely dissemination of scientific and technical information that is of high quality but inappropriate for publication in the formal peer- reviewed literature. The contents are of broad scope, including technical workshop proceedings, large data compilations, status reports and reviews, lengthy scientific or statistical monographs, and more. NOAA Technical Memoranda published by the PIFSC, although informal, are subjected to extensive review and editing and reflect sound professional work. Accordingly, they may be referenced in the formal scientific and technical literature. A NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS issued by the PIFSC may be cited using the following format: Allen, S. D., and J. R. Amesbury. 2012. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands as a fishing community.
