drl, I did take Chamorro History at U.O.G. Those men chasing down the "Two Lover's Leap" look like Chamorro's whereas the reality was the Spaniards pulled in and committed genocide to the men.Men later were brought in from Saipan because they realized they killed they're work force.It's a wonder their is still kinda racist. Go figure.

DRL said...

Joanna, yea, I thought of that too. They look just like the couple jumping. The sad thing about the racism, is it was the white's that freed the Guamanians from the Spanish in the Spanish-American War.
You are right also, when they killed off the Chamarro men, the Spanish not only intergrated the Island with Spanish men to replace them, but also the language. The Chamarro language is more Spanish than the original.

DRL, They're religion in a very ,our way or the highway so to speak.

DRL said...

Joanna, yep

Joanna said...

Notice the cross and the Spaniard near the middle...

DRL said...

Yea Joanna, I wasn't going to mention it, but it is a part of Guam history. Both the Catholic Faith and as stated, Guamanians are half spanish.
