Cultural Vignettes

This video series of cultural vignettes was produced in 2018 to promote our indigenous på’a – a deeper knowledge and understanding of lina’la’ ‬‭‬CHamoru‭. ‬The vignettes emphasize different CHamoru values and traditions such as Ináfa’maolek, Inageftao, Inarespeta and Inayudu. These short video clips are designed to be used as teaching tools by teachers and families‭.‬

The Kumisión developed the vignettes with the support of educators and students from the University of Guam’s CHamoru Studies Program and the Guam Department of Education’s CHamoru Studies and Special Projects Division. Members of the community volunteered their time and services to make this project possible‭.
