Chinamoru Is...
I found this on the Indigenist Intelligence Review.
But its originally from the blog Anishinaabekwe.
Gof bunita yan gof magahet este.
Fihu gumongong yu' put i Chamoru siha, yan i hinasson-niha put i kutturan-niha.
Gi fino' Ingles, gof "ma'i'ot" pat "narrow" i hinasson-niha.
Hinasson-niha na i kutturan Chamoru, solu hafa uniku giya Hita, ya taigue gi todu i otro kuttura.
Pat hinasson-niha, na i Chinamoru solu hafa estaba gaige guini antes di manhalom i Espanot.
Dinagi este dos na hinasso. Ti magahet yan dinagi.
Gi este dos na hinasso, i Chinamoru i perfekto Chamoru ha'. Lao taya' gi hilo' tano' perfekto, taya' taotao, taya' kuttura. Sina un aligao gi todu i lugat giya este na mundo, yan taya' sinedda'-mu siempre. Pues hafa i bali-na ayu na inaligao?
Taitai este na betsu. Este dipotsi i korason i mannatibu na taotao.
Estague i minagahet debi di ta akihom.

Indigenous Is...
Indigenous is not a skin color,
Indigenous is not my nose,
Indigenous is not my eye color,
Indigenous is not my lips,
Indigenous is not romanticizing ancient teachings,
To appropriate,
To disseminate,
To cut to pieces,
And abbreviate in a research document,
Indigenous is removing layers of shame from your ancestors trail,
Indigenous is stepping up to the plate,
Healing and creating a new way for future generations,
Indigenous is standing tall,
Indigenous is standing beautifully,
Indigenous is an honor.
