PUTI’ON★ added,
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.
Don't apologize! I loved this. It made me think. It's nice (also sad) to know there are other people out there asking the big questions and going through similar struggles. We will stand together though. I respect you.
All of Oceania is going thru the same struggle, we are all just in different stages of the movement. All Oceania should stand together support each other on our shared journey
Can you just imagine how much quicker change will become once we get over the initial hurdle of critical mass for the movements?? Obvs we need more than just bodies and voices, but we are getting there. One thing I can thank social media for. Go on with ya bad selves.
