A comprehensive ethnohistory of the earliest settlers of the Mariana Islands. Line drawings, maps, glossary, bibliography and index included. A popular textbook used in schools on Guam and in the CNMI.

Larry Cunningham’s editorial arrangement makes the content very legible. Each chapter is an educator’s delight, complete with emboldened words, concise definitions, excellent illustrations, and lucid yet debatable arguments for the culturally uninitiated. The use of the Chamorro language is extensive, lending an appropriate sense of authenticity and sensitivity to an often controversial subject.

This text was originally published prior to the language change of "Chamorro" to "CHamoru." Updates will be made to reflect this with reprinted editions.
