It’s no different in 2014. From the launch of the transformative Tourism 2020 plan to the inaugural Guam Live International Music Festival, Guam’s story in 2014 was a year full of events and bringing people together in new ways. It’s also one of evolution and shifting with the tides of change as magnificent as the ocean waves crashing into the island’s coral reefs. At the very heart of our journey lies the Håfa Adai spirit and warm hospitality of Guam’s people. It’s no wonder visitors from around the world are drawn to explore the island’s natural beauty, as well as the customs, traditions and values that have shaped the irreplaceable Chamorro culture. It is our hope that our story continues to be shared. On the cover and on this page: Marina Jesus of Guma Taotao Tano' of the umbrella organization Pa’a Taotao Tano' performs the “Lina’La” at Inarajan Pools. The Lina’La is a Chamorro dance that celebrates the ability to bring forth and nurture life.

Borgonia* I. INTRODUCTION I grew up thinking two facts were common knowledge. First, Guam is a part of the United States. Second, the people born in Guam are all United States citizens. Although I was born and raised in Washington State, both of my parents were born and raised on Guam, a small U.S. territory. Growing up, conversations in my household did not include politics, government, or anything remotely related to those topics. In high school, I asked why our family did not talk about government and questioned their decision to not vote. My mom told me politics and government were never emphasized in her household growing up.
