      Colonizer's religious holidays takes precedence over our culture

      everyone I've met from guam seems to be like that. I'm amazed by deeply religion has infiltrated and attempted to replace your guys culture and change what ought to be significant

      Guam does have a religious holiday like Our Lady of Camarin day, CNMI (where I'm from) has Good Friday. BUT I can't say it doesn't bring me peace from the tradition. I am not very religious, but I find comfort in it because my family is very religious. It reminds me of childhood

      Very possible that you didn't grow up that way. Although I can see how passionately you care about decolonization, I hope you realize that others tread a fine line between family values, religion, and culture. We were colonized since the 1600's. Hawaii was colonized in the 1800's

      Although your level of colonization MAY be "worse", ours has endured for longer. Culture & religion are much harder to separate when its been ingrained for so long. But this isn't a contest of who has it worse. We should all just be aware of each other's suffering & stand strong

      Hopefully now that all the Nesian Islands are going through larger-scale decolonization movements we will be able to reclaim more of our culture & separate it from religion, hard as that may be. I definitely would LOVE to see a Chief's Day.

      Also IF I ever live in Hawaii for graduate school (fingers crossed), I WILL be able to experience King Kamehameha Day! I'm not Hawaiian, but my actual name comes from your last Queen & I love Hawaii's history & hope that our movements persist, flourish, and cause real change.

          I totally get that line, my family is heavily religious and not as involved in cultural or decolonization as I am. I honestly think Guam has had it worse than Hawaii and for longer being passed around. I didn't mean any offense i was simply curious as to how you guys view it.

          Guam endured colonization for longer and under different empires so its understandable how much of an influence its had and the way its shaped life. I just meant like how I've heard even how people didnt know how to say certain things in Chamorro without the religious tones
