A CHamoru Language Educators Consortium was convened to research, discuss and propose such a platform for reversing the catastrophic linguistic trend in our trajectory as the Taotao Tåno’. Spurred by Legislative Resolution No. 69-37(COR) introduced by Speaker Therese M. Terlaje and Senator Chris Barnett, the Consortium was charged with recommending “how the full development of CHamoru Language Medium education and instruction in Guam can be supported by existing government and private entities.”
The Consortium met on a monthly basis since its inception in the fall of 2022 and in a two-day Planning Retreat on October 17 & 18, 2023 to clearly articulate the vision, mission and philosophy of a viable structure for implementing a coordinated, sustainable CHamoru Medium Education strategy for Guam. The Consortium consists of advocates working towards the perpetuation of the CHamoru language and culture from the Guam Department of Education, Chief Hurao Academy, Guam Community College, University of Guam, and the Kumisión i Fino’ CHamoru yan i Fina’nȧ’guen i Historia yan i Lina’la’ i Taotao Tȧno’.
