Millennials and Gen Z: we need a viable alternative to the nobena. Many of us are moving away from, or are already far from being practicing Catholics. Yet, as kids, the lisåyu was INSTRUMENTAL in bringing us closer to family. In MY case it did that and helped me with Chamorro.

Being "authentic" ofc might not be everyone's motivation to separate themselves from it, but for me that is the reason that speaks the most to why I would. You're right. We built our villages, communities centered around i Guma Yu'us, literally. What can we center it around now?

I like the idea of a Chamorro/Refaluwasch center in major villes where community members can meet to learn crafts, drink, & just discuss their village lives and concerns like a council. Little kids can be tågu'd and play safely while serving the elders. Culture will be our life.
