Home Investing in the Marianas Culture With a history of occupation by Spain, Germany, Japan and finally the United States, along with its close proximity to Asia, it's no wonder that the Northern Mariana Islands have developed a truly international character. The indigenous people are Chamorro and Carolinian islanders who speak their native languages as well as English. In addition, there are Americans, Filipinos, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai and people of other nationalities living and working together in the Northern Marianas. Events which reflect a multicultural society are held year round, celebrating a fall range of Asian and American holidays. There are numerous organizations dedicated to the preservation of culture and language in the Northern Marianas. The need to establish a museum to help preserve local culture and history became a reality on November 4, 1998, as the Northern Mariana Islands Museum of History and Culture officially opened to the public on Saipan.

DESTINATION NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS The Northern Marianas - 'America's Best Kept Secret' - may still be just that in the USA, but don't tell the Japanese. After getting the boot in WWII they're back with a vengeance - to play golf and shop duty free. Saipan may be turning into a package tour nightmare, but it's still got its charms - turquoise waters, white sands and fine diving, snorkeling and hiking. If you really want to get away from the packagers, though, you'll need to hop over to laid-back Tinian or rustic Rota, where traditional island life still goes on and the resorts are only just now getting a foothold.

Northern Mariana Islands History The Northern Marianas were settled around 1500 BC by Chamorros who shared cultural ties with Guam's indigenous people. This early group of Chamorros are responsible for the 'latte stones' found throughout the Marianas. Reaching as high as 20ft (6m), these limestone posts are capped with a piece of limestone or brain coral in the shape of a large bowl. Ferdinand Magellan named the islands the Islas de los Ladrones (Islands of Thieves) in 1521; they were renamed Las Marianas upon the arrival of Spanish priest Luis Diego Sanvitores, in honor of the Spanish queen Maria Ana of Austria. In 1668, Sanvitores and five other Jesuits established the first mission in the Marianas, touching off two decades of hostilities between the priests and less-than-welcoming Chamorros. Spanish troops managed to quell the uprising in the late 1680s. In the hopes of more effectively converting the Chamorros, the Spanish relocated most of them to Guam. Most of the natives on Rota, however, managed to hide out in the hills and avoid capture, and today the Chamorros on Rota are the least mixed in the Marianas. Around 1820, the Spanish allowed islanders from the western Carolines to move to the larger Mariana Islands. The Carolinians managed Spanish cattle herds and maintained a presence in the Marianas at a time when Spain was concerned over German intentions in the area.

Welcome to Tanapag Saipan, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Tanapag Home Our Guides Location Orientation Getting Here ... Site Map Tanapag village and lagoon as seen from the ridge. Tanapag is a village on the island of Saipan, in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is commonly referred to as CNMI, and we will use this designation. Tanapag (pronounced tah-NAH-pok ) is a fishing village settled by Carolinian immigrants in the 19th century, during the time when the indigenous Chamorro population had been relocated on Guam. With their return to Saipan, Chamorros intermarried with Carolinians in this village. Today, some residents use the term "Chamo-linian" to describe the hybrid culture of Chamorros and Carolinians in the Mariana Islands. Tanapag aptly represents this blending of two traditions. Pacific Worlds welcomes you to explore this beautiful place through a series of eight thematic topics. Within each of these, you will find short, focused sections exploring particular aspects within that theme. Provided also are bibliographies and links to external sites that will teach you more about the topics discussed.

"Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands" The Contemporary Pacific - Volume 16, Number 1, Spring 2004, pp. 132-137 University of Hawai'i Press Excerpt The present administration of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) was elected in November 2001. The governor took office in January 2002. Between 2002 and July 2003, a great many things happened: there were three attorneys general, several members of the legislature were implicated in legal violations, and two senators were convicted on numerous charges of wire fraud. In addition, the Bank of Saipan went into receivership and four individuals were convicted of fraud involving the bank's funds. The telecommunication system of the commonwealth, presently owned and operated by Verizon, was for sale for over a year. The possibility of casino gambling to deal with a failing economy was raised again. On the other hand, diversified tourism received a boost with some imaginative innovations, including a new visitor center at the American Memorial Park, and a revitalization project for Garapan, the commonwealth's primary tourist attraction.
