"CHULE' TATTE GUAHAN"
Volume 7 Issue 1

Hafa Adai, yan welcome to i mina'kuarenta na Minagahet.
Gof apmam desde humuyong un issue Minagahet. Desde i ma’pos na December. Ai adai, kalang ti hongge’on este.
The absence of Minagahet for the past nine or ten months should not be interpreted as implying that nothing much has happened in Guam recently. So many things have been happening lately, and a few things which were supposed to happen, haven’t yet. There is definitely a change on the horizon, and as always, it will depend upon the activists and the people as to whether those changes benefit the few with the most, or the majority. In this issue of Minagahet, you will find links to several dozen articles dealing with the military buildup, the relationship between the Government of Guam and the US Federal Government, how the current political climate in Japan might affect the transfer of Marines from Okinawa to Guam, and finally updates on the work of those who are working to chule’ tåtte Guahan, or reclaim Guahan.
Two events that I participated in over the past few months will hopefully help change
For more information on the issues that this issue covers, you can check out the following blogs: JGPO Blog,, Decolonize Guam Blog, and my personal blog, No Rest for the Awake - Minagahet Chamorro.
Also, the next issue of Minagahet will most likely feature the testimonies from Chamorros and their allies who will be traveling to the United Nations in New York City this October in order to testify about the state of Guam and the fact that it still awaits decolonization. Hopefully it won’t take as long as this issue did to put together. Asi’i’ yu’ ta’lo put i tinaigue-ña este.
