    Friendly reminder that our Refaluwasch cousins are ALSO Indigenous people to the Marianas, but only in the CNMI! 🇲🇵🌺 So if you say "Marianas", INCLUDE THEM! But if you say "Guam" technically they are not included because they are not recognized on Guam!

        The CNMI is one of the few places that recognized a second group of people who were not original inhabitants with open arms, to the point where our anthem is also in Refaluwasch, it's one of the recognized languages in the CNMI, & they along w/ Chamorros are able to own land 🤝🏽

        Chamorros and Refaluwasch (and most likely many other Pasifika peoples) formed their own trade routes way before colonization, before the Spanish landed in our islands. We had solidarity with each other before colonization & it will STAY, only getting stronger with time!

        Another point I'd like to make: I know we don't know much of our history. Their stories lived & died on ancestral lips, but like @_taotaomona_ always says, we ARE our ancestors. WE know we had badass Chiefs in the Marianas we don't know about! We know we come from strong women!

        Our people are more than damage-based scraps of colonizer-narrated histories Our people were not victims, we are survivors Our people were not poor in material wealth, but rich in ancestral knowledge 🌿
