Tourism helps preserve local history Guam has a rich history, and the visitor industry shines a light on it. Visitors can learn about ancient Chamorro society, Spanish colonization, American rule and Japanese occupation. They can walk amid historical structures like latte stones and Japanese gun emplacements. They can dive near sunken ships from two eras – the SMS Cormoran II from World War I and the Tokai Maru from World War II. With tourism dollars, eorts to preserve local history have been successful. The Tourist Attraction Fund has supported historic Hagåtña projects, the Malesso Bell Tower, and the historic monument and plaza commemorating Ferdinand Magellan’s visit to Umatac Bay. In addition, tourism dollars support institutions and organizations that share local history. Backed by TAF, the Guam Museum provides informative presentations such as latte stone construction. TAF provides money to Guampedia, an online encyclopedia that highlights Chamorro heritage as well as Guam history. Among the initiatives that TAF also supports are the Historic Inalahan Foundation and Inetnon Gefpå’go, a program that raises awareness of Chamorro heritage.

    Photograph by Carim Yanoria Nåna by Kisha Borja-Quichocho Like the tåsa and haligi of the ancient Chamoru latte stone so, too, does your body maintain the shape of the healthy Chamoru woman. With those full-figured hips features delivered through natural birth for generations and with those powerful arms reaching for the past calling on our mañaina you have remained strong throughout the years continuously inspire me to live my culture allow me to grow into a young Chamoru woman myself. 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.

Guam Museum Permanent Exhibition Overview History of the Guam Museum The Guam Museum, officially called the Senator Antonio M. Palomo Guam and CHamoru Educational Facility, is the first structure built for the sole purpose of housing and displaying Guam’s precious historic treasures. The Guam Museum reflects the diversity, creativity, and resilience of the people of Guam and the Mariana Islands. The permanent exhibition is the story of the CHamoru people, told from a CHamoru perspective. It is hoped to encourage people to engage in dialogue, to share perspectives and experiences and debate issues that concern us all today. I Hale’ta: Mona yan Tatte: 90 Years in the Making The earliest printed record of people making plans for a new museum dates back to 1926. The Guam Teachers Association, led by Ramon M. Sablan, a teacher best known as the author of the “Guam Hymn,” asked residents and friends of Guam to start collecting their antiques and other artifacts for a museum that would protect their history and CHamoru culture. The editor of the Guam Recorder, one of the earliest publications printed and circulated on Guam, also called for the opening of a museum.
