A number of women wore traditional floral head crowns called warmwars.

Powerful>More about Chamorro

Chamorro, the natives of Guam. With about 50,600 copies in the latter part of the twentieth centuries, they are of mainly Catalan origin with a significant addition of Spanish, Filipino (based on Tagalog) and other tribes. The Chamorro is not a Micronese accent, but an independent idiom with its own terminology and its owngramma.

Pureblooded Chamorros no longer exist in Guam, but the Chamorro is still used by many locals, although English is the offical one. Chamorro are predominantly Roman Catholic.

People of Guam

Mayo Polynesians were the oldest known Marian population. MtDNA genetics suggest that 5,000 to 3,500 years ago the Mariana people came directly from ISEA (islands of Southeast Asia), probably Wallacea (Sulawesi and the Moluccas) Vilar, Miguel G., et. al. Origin and genetics of the Chamorros of the Marianas Islands:

One of Chamorus' later lines came in a later migratory surge 1,000 years before the present with the pronounced lath structure and paddy farming, both of which have links to Indonesia (IBID). On the basis of accompanying Linguistical, Archeological, Ceramic and Historic testimonies, the Austronese cultures of Chamorros antique and contemporary distantly look similar to the tongues and civilizations of Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

As Mavis Van Peenen once said, "chamorro" comes from the indigenous words "chamorri" or "chamoli", which describe the "nobles" (Spanish lexicons indicate that the acronym " chambersorro " means "to shave the mind or to be bald". Legends of Kamorro on the Isle of Guam. Been to Guam in 2008. The historian Rodrigue Levesque notes, ".... the main classes were called Chamorris, a concept that was later corrupt to Chamorros because the Spaniards were joking that they were'bald' people.

It originated from the term "chamor mauri" (history of Micronesia). Pifigetta wrote the first historic paper in 1521 that describes the general physics of antique Chamorus. The natives he described as large, large-boned, sturdy with tanned skins and long dark stains.

Today's Chamorus are a mix of different ethnical groups, made up of many different cultures from Asia, Europe and America. Many Filipinos, Caucasians, Japans, Koreans, Chinese, Indians and Pacific Islanders have since made Guam their home. Chamorus, have inhabited the Marianas (Sinahi) Islands, of which Guam is the southernmost and isle.

In the Marianas, Jane Underwood, Univ of Arizona, Tucson, has put the 140 accumulated Chamorus generation, who have been living in the Marianas since their first discoveries about 3,500 years ago, at over 2 million Chamorus. In 1602 (66 years before the missionaries San Vitores arrived) the estimate for Boan (Guam) was 60,000 and for Carpana (Rota) 12,000 (Driver, Marjorie G., Fray Juan Pobre in the Marianas 1602 p. 21.

"There are 50,000 in Guam alone (about 1668), 40,000 in others (Garcia, Francisco SJ. "In 1682, during the Chamoru Wars in Spain, Father Strobach, missionary of the Society of Jesus, said that the island was at first inhabited by 50,000 people, but that not even 12,000 remained because of the illness, famine and bloodshed of wars in Europe (p. 598).

Mikronesia Story - More Unrest in the Mariana Islands Volume 7 Copyrights 1996). The most recent archaeological estimations suggest that Guam's total populations at that period probably did not exceed 30,000 (Cunningham, Lawrence. Ancient Chamorro Society 1992; p53). "The historian Benigno Palomo quoted canonical story, which refers to 3,143 indigenous remnants and 471 Hispanic mestizos in the first formal census of Spain in 1710, after the Chamorro War.

Through the study of the current 1710-1830 Spain Population Quensus, more and more indigenous men were women and indigenous people the dominant national group. The nineteenth century report of the Guam recorders of 1977 vol 7 by Jane Underwood (The natively originating Neo-Chamorros, Guam recorder) wrote: "The nineteenth -century report of the Spain Population Survey calls into question the idea that contemporary hybrids of these archipelagoes are predominantly of foreign ancestry.

" In the prehistorical period the veneration of ancestors led to the removal of {maga lahis} from one-year-old frames for the production of bony tips by soldiers and foremen. Those forefathers, or TAOTAOMONA's (men before time), were asked in pre-history to help in the hunt, fishery and war against the colonists of Spain.

The isotopic proportions of carbohydrate and nitrate in bones were analyzed by Stanley Ambrose, Univ of Illinois, who found a significant dependence on kelp and sucrose in some rota, guam and saipan pre-historic people. Only found in native Mariana Islanders {and later in Tonga}, these textures were found by repeated strain of the shoulder and arm {see Chamorro-Anatomie, in order to localize the nape of the nape of the neck to localize sternocleidomastoid:

Most of the osseous structures are found in exceptionally muscled men and females from locations with the megalites. As you travel further northerly in the Mariana Islands, the growth of bones becomes more marked. It is interesting that the head with the most prominent warts belongs to a middle-aged female from the Achugao region in the west of Saipan.

For stories about Chamorros' contact with Europe at the beginning of the fourteenth century relating to their natural characteristics, click here. Proofs on the northern Mariana Islands indicate that humans began to settle on the Pacific Islands of Micronesia at least 5,000 years ago. Saipan's Unai Achugao site from 1800 BC or 3,800 years ago and Tinian's Unai Chulu site from 1500 BC are the oldest archeological remains in the US-managed area.

US researcher J. Stephen Athens and Jerome Ward of the International Archaeological Research Institute said that for 8,000 years now, Saipan, the Susupe Lake has been providing a continuous recording of vegetable polenta, wood coal and other mines. Dr. Lawrence Cunningham said IARII obtained a 2300 BC date of carbons from nuclear specimens in Laguas Swamp near Apra in Guam.

Dr. Lum says that the two major groups of the metDNA line, which includes practically all Chamorus samples, are "haplogroups" (B and E) with Suluwesi distribution and phosphogenetic "bonds". And perhaps more interestingly, the fine sub-typed Chamorus subtype DNA sequence - although related to these Suluwesi lines - is "specific" only to the Marianas.

Out of the 15% Chamorus B group of haplo, which was previously thought to be caused by the recent transcription of C-E micronesia, 95% are actually Chamoru-specific. The Hap-B lines and most Hap-E lines (97% of the Chamorus lines) were not found outside the Mariana Islands, underlining Chamorus' clear genetics.

While we cannot say where these Hap E and Chamoru-specific B lines came from or whether they came together in antiquity (Chamoru Bs with latte and rice), similar Hap E lines can be found in the Sulawesi area, where Hap B is also considered closely developed.
