The separation between NMI and Guahan from my perspective is dangerous. This is a divisive mechanism that causes separation between ONE people. Its political and we cannot let this type of thinking permeate into other aspects of our lives.

So long as we acknowledge that it is merely political and somewhat historical, I feel like we will do ok. We are not just our war-torn histories, after all. We are a strong culture of survivors. Our ancestors have contributed to our strength. Let us decolonize the Marianas!

Yes and I agree whole heartedly. But please educate me on how the historical aspect of this division doesnt ultimately tie into the political?

I suppose thinking about for example how war survivors between the two islands saw each other. This caused a historical rift between, in the minds of Chamorros from CNMI and from Guahan. I wouldn't describe that as simply political, that's historical as a result of political.

Some of that is still felt to this day but some people don't know *why*. I didn't know myself until after I moved to Guahan why I felt that divide. It was passed down. Now that I recognize its origins, I can reject it, but I had to learn first.
