home many pasts evidence www.history ... about us 1. What drew you to history teaching? My father was another major resource, sharing with me his history, his memories of life as a youth in the Philippines. As I studied Guam history and American history in school, my grandfather and parents related their versions of historical events, such as the Great Depression and WWII, when Guam was occupied by Japan. I would go home and compare what I had learned with their memories. It was fascinating to hear the differences and effects of how history took place on the U.S. mainland versus in the Pacific Rim. I began to recognize the impact of various occupations of Guam, especially on our native population and culture. I also became curious about why there was not much written about the roles of Chamorros in significant historical events. Most of the history was taught and written through the perspectives of non-native historians. This prompted me to ask why so much information was not recorded and actually taught in school. Growing up, I was discouraged from learning the local language. In school, we were penalized with fines and corporal punishment for speaking the Chamorro language. We were highly criticized for having accents and not being fluent in English and were taught that those who did not speak English fluently were not intelligent and would not succeed in professional careers. I now emphasize to my students that having an accent does not reflect intelligence. I encourage them to be proud of their ethnic heritage and to learn their native language to keep their culture alive. Thirty-five years later, students are required by law to study Guam history and learn the Chamorro language.

Immigration Policy at the Edges International Migration to and Through the U.S. Island Territories February 2003 By David S. North Download the .pdf version Recent developments have focused attention on U.S. immigration policies as they relate to America’s outlying island jurisdictions. A federal district court ruling in the U.S. Virgin Islands, a controversy in American Samoa about the exclusion of Arabs, and the proliferation of sweatshops staffed by foreign workers in Saipan mean that these islands, usually of little interest to Mainland policy makers, cannot be ignored in the broader effort to overhaul our immigration policies and procedures. As background, the United States relates – in quite different ways – to immigration from and through eight island jurisdictions. While all the islands are, to differing degrees, Third World jurisdictions, they can be grouped as follows regarding their impact on immigration to the Mainland: • First there is Puerto Rico, the largest, the most populous and – given its relatively low income structure – the least likely to attract much international immigration. There is, however, much migration of Puerto Rican-born citizens to the mainland. • Then there is Guam in the Pacific and the U.S. Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. In these places, as in Puerto Rico, all locally-born persons are U.S. citizens and the U.S. immigration law applies, just as it does in Kansas.

Diabetes-Related Preventive-Care Practices - Guam, 20012003 Persons with diabetes are at risk for serious complications, such as blindness, kidney failure, nontraumatic lower-extremity amputations, and cardiovascular disease ( ). Preventive-care practices have been determined effective in reducing both the incidence and progression of diabetes-specific complications ( ). Despite the benefits of these practices, their level of use has been lower than recommended in the United States ( ). To emphasize the importance of preventive-care practices, national health objectives for 2010 for persons with diabetes, include the following targets: have an annual dilated eye examination (75%; objective 5-13), have an annual foot examination (75%; objective 5-14), perform self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) at least once daily (60%; objective 5-17), and have a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurement at least twice per year (65%; objective 5-12 [revised]) ( ). In the U.S. territory of Guam (2004 population: 166,090), no previous population-based assessment of the use of diabetes-related preventive-care practices has been conducted. For this report, data from the 20012003 Guam Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) were analyzed to determine the prevalence of preventive-care practices among persons with diabetes in Guam, which is the southernmost and largest of the Marianas Islands, located approximately 3,300 miles west of Hawaii and 1,550 miles south of Japan. Results of the analysis indicated that Guam residents with diabetes remain below the national targets for 2010 for four preventive-care practices, most notably SMBG. The preventive care programs and surveillance activities of the Guam Diabetes Prevention and Control Program (DPCP) should be continued, with emphasis on SMBG recommendations, to prevent poor health outcomes in persons with diabetes and achieve the national health objectives.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH NON-INDIGENOUS SPECIES IN THE UNITED STATES David Pimentel, Lori Lach, Rodolfo Zuniga, and Doug Morrison College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14850-0901 June 12, 1999 phone: (607) 255-2212 fax: (607) 255-0939 email: dp18@cornell.edu ABSTRACT Invading non-indigenous species in the United States cause major environmental damages and losses adding up to more than $138 billion per year. There are approximately 50,000 foreign species and the number is increasing. About 42% of the species on the Threatened or Endangered species lists are at risk primarily because of non-indigenous species. In the history of the United States, approximately 50,000 non-indigenous (non-native) species are estimated to have been introduced into the United States. Introduced species, such as corn, wheat, rice, and other food crops, and cattle, poultry, and other livestock, now provide more than 98% of the U.S. food system at a value of approximately $800 billion per year (USBC 1998). Other exotic species have been introduced for landscape restoration, biological pest control, sport, pets, and food processing. Some non-indigenous species, however, have caused major economic losses in agriculture, forestry, and several other segments of the U.S. economy, in addition to harming the environment. One recent study reported approximately $97 billion in damages from 79 exotic species during the period from 1906 to 1991 (OTA 1993).

Eugenio SAIPAN, Northern Mariana Islands (October 29, 2001 - Marianas Variety/PINA Nius Online)-Many Micronesians who migrated to the Northern Marianas, Guam and Hawai‘i under provisions of a Compact of Free Association "live in poverty," a report concludes. Migrants from the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands and Palau have cost these American islands at least $371 million from 1986 through 2000, the report said. The report is titled "Foreign Relations: Migrations from Micronesian Nations Has Had Significant Impact on Guam, Hawai‘i and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands." It was prepared by the United States General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of the United States Congress. The Compacts of Free Association govern relations between America and those parts of the former Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands that opted for independence. They give America some military and foreign affairs rights in exchange for economic assistance and immigration access to the United States. The report says that under the Compacts 14,000 people have moved to neighboring American Pacific islands, mostly in search of work and educational opportunities.

Photograph in bottom right corner of collage courtesy of Tim Rock/Double Blue Images, timrock@doubleblue.com The National Register of Historic Places is pleased to promote awareness of and appreciation for the historical contributions of Asian and Pacific peoples in the United States and its associated territories. From the early 1800s to the late 20th century, Asian and Pacific peoples have played a vital role in the development of the United States and made lasting contributions in all elements of American society. The month of May is recognized as National Asian-Pacific Heritage Month. This year, as part of the celebration, we are showcasing the rich heritage of Micronesia by highlighting the islands' listed historic places. Join the National Register in commemorating just a few of the places where Asian and Pacific people have made history. Today, Guam remains a territory of the United States. In the 1970s, citizens of the old Trust Territory organized four new governments: the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the RMI, and the Republic of Palau. Of these, the Marianas are an American Commonwealth and the other three are in a unique relationship with the United States known as "Free Association."

Next Hawaiian Independence, Puerto Rican Independence, Guam Independence Conceptual Similarities, Political Cooperation, and Puerto Rican Terrorism Against U.S. Congress While Hawai'i celebrates February 24, 2004 as the golden anniversary of the Great Statehood Petition of 1954, the Hawaiian sovereignty activists and Puerto Rican nationalists celebrate a date less than a week later as the golden anniversary of a terrorist attack on Congress. On March 1, 1954 four Puerto Rican independence terrorists seated in the visitors' gallery shot and almost killed 5 members of Congress on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. An essay praising and justifying this "brave and noble revolutionary effort" is provided later on this webpage. The independence movement in Puerto Rico has a long and violent history, continuing until today. The independence movement in Guam is also active. Hawaiian sovereignty independence activists like to compare the political status of Hawai'i to the political status of Puerto Rico and Guam. Those two entities were acquired by the United States at roughly the same time as Hawai'i, during the Spanish-American war. Since Puerto Rico and Guam are not (yet) states, it is possible they could eventually become independent instead of becoming states. Hawaiian activists cheer whenever the subject of United Nations action or a political status plebiscite is raised regarding Guam or Puerto Rico, because they hope similar action might be possible in the case of Hawai'i. Some activists for Hawaiian sovereignty are also active in the movement for independence in Puerto Rico and Guam, and there is considerable exchanging of information and inspiration among the three independence movements.

Cayetano and the 14th and 15th Amendments in relation to Native America, Hawai`i, Puerto Rico, Guam, and American Samoa abstract web board discussion post a comment Participants J. Kehaulani Kauanui, Chair Assistant Professor of Anthropology and American Studies Wesleyan University Vicente M. Diaz Assistant Professor of American Cultures University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Joanne Barker Assistant Professor of Native American Studies University of California, Davis Marvette Perez Curator in the Division of Cultural History National Museum of American History Smithsonian Institution Abstract This roundtable discussion proposes to take up the implications of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Rice v. Cayetano On behalf of the Respondent, Hawai`i's Governor Benjamin Cayetano, the state argued that the OHA's limitation on the right to vote was not based upon race but the unique status of Hawaiian people and that the classification met rational basis review under Morton v. Mancari because the state and federal government have a "special relationship"-trust and obligation-to "native Hawaiians" that is analogous to the federal government's relationship with American Indian tribes. Hence, the limitation on the right to vote for the OHA trustees is based on a legal classification determined by those who constitute the beneficiaries of the trust managed by that Office. However, the state obligations to Hawai`i's indigenous people were not sufficient to convince the Supreme Court of the unique political situation of Hawaiian people that justified the exclusive OHA elections process.
