I find it strange that UOG does not offer a correspondence or an on-line course for the "history of Guam." The department chair I talked to says that it is necessary for the student to be on the island to get to know the Chamorro people. I find this concept to be short-sighted and only limits the knowledge to people that are wealthy or can get the time off without losing their job. I would think if they wanted their voices heard and known in the issues brought up such as; high unemployment, military build up on Guam, voting rights in the national elections and disappearing Chamorro culture they would want to make that course widely available to the public. Also, there is a large population of Chamorros living off the island, this would be a good way for them to reconnect with their roots. Currently, I am doing a self-study on the history of Guam for a portfolio assesment, I was wondering if you could recommend a book by a Chamorro author that is positive and uplifitng. I can't read another depressing story.afaxedfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09828084650516960925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875725.post-29880639055691395572010-07-10T05:11:37.006+10:002010-07-10T05:11:37.006+10:00I have enjoyed your comments on both the unemploym...I have enjoyed your comments on both the unemployment issue and the attitude of UOG.
