The island is approximately 32 miles in length and varies from a width of 4 miles to 8 miles, with a total area of about 212 square miles. The northern half of Guam is covered by a fairly flat limestone plateau with steep cliffs along the shore lines. Rainwater in this northern half of the island percolates quickly, recharging Guam’s only drinking water aquifer. The southern half of Guam is in stark contrast to the northern half. In southern Guam, bedrock is mostly volcanic rock with clay soils on top. Streams and rivers have carved this half of the island into a rugged mountainous region. Guam’s climate is generally warm and humid throughout the year, with average temperatures ranging between 85 degrees to 89 degrees F in the afternoon and 70 degrees to 75 degrees F in the evening. The dry season (mid-January through July) is characterized by very little rainfall and consistent trade winds predominantly from the northeast. May, June, and July are the driest months of the year. Copy of geographic map of Guam created during the voyage of The rainy season (August through Louis De Freycinet from 1817–1820. Copy of Bellin Map of Guam and the Mariana Islands, 1757 mid-January) features heavy winds and rains with occasional typhoons and tropical storms. iv Connecting the Community to the Past, A Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan for Guam, 2007–2011 Introduction There are various reasons why preservation is This plan is an update to the 1997 Historic CAVE piCTogRAPHS important to Guam, but the most important is that it Preservation in Guam: A Comprehensive Plan .

    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).

Established by the US Congress in 1960, the Center serves as a resource for information and analysis on critical issues of common concern, bringing people together to exchange views, build expertise, and develop policy options. The Center’s 21-acre Honolulu campus, adjacent to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, is located midway between Asia and the US mainland and features research, residential, and international conference facilities. The Center’s Washington, DC, office focuses on preparing the United States for an era of growing Asia Pacific prominence. The East-West Center hosts the core office of the Pacific RISA grant, providing administrative and research capabilities for the program. The Pacific RISA is one of the 11 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) teams that conduct research that builds the nation’s capacity to prepare for and adapt to climate variability and change.

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.
