Description
This is Part II of Episode 6, "Revival of Traditional Seafaring in the Marianas." Part I was released in late October 2021. Through interviews with master navigators and their students, Dr. Michael Lujan Bevacqua discusses how, beginning in the 1980s, CHamorus began to relearn the ancient seafaring skills lost here to colonization — and how the revival of these traditions goes hand-in-hand with the CHamoru Renaissance and decolonization movement. Our anchor for this episode is Dr. Michael Lujan Bevacqua. He's an historian and teacher of CHamoru, the indigenous language of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, and serves as curator of the Guam Museum.
