Guåhan celebrates Independence Day by increasing awareness of its regional status.

HAGÅTÑA, Guam (Pacific Daily News, July 4, 2017) - 36-year-old Dededo inhabitant Joel Benavente spends his fourth July at the beach and grills like many of his compatriots. "Guam is not celebrating July 4 as much as it is off the island," he said. Song of Freedom" Concerto in Adelup on Tuesday afternoons.

In April this year, the Independant Guahan Decolonization Commission Taskforce launched the meeting as a follow-up to Respect the Chamoru People Day. "In Songs of Freedom" several regional writers and musicans were represented who supported the country's sovereignty. Benavente said that if the show was to become an anual excursion, there would be something Guam's advocate for an independant isle to look forward to every year.

In recent years, Guam has tried to conduct a referendum or self-determination to measure the privileged relations of the indigenous people with the USA - autonomy, state identity or free associations. Independent Guåhan leader Michael Bevacqua said the group hosted the meeting to further emphasize Guam's incapacity to define its own policy state with the US, while the country as a whole is celebrating its division and upheaval of Britain.

"The United States is something that Guam and especially its natives have not yet achieved," Bevacqua said. Puerto Rico's islands had their own policy-makers' votes last months. The most recent non-binding referenda in Puerto Rico is, according to Fortune, the fifth popular ballot since 1967. Only 23% of the 2. 2 million electorates in the territory were elected.

Vojvacqua said one thing Guam can be learning from Puerto Rico's recent plebiscite is whether the federal government is willing to come to the table and have a dispute with his regions about political stat. "Dependent on how the United States reacts to Puerto Rico's plebiscite, it will give us an indication as to whether or not the United States will cooperate with us on the policy issue," he said.

Bevacqua said another point that Guam should take notice of of Puerto Rico's referendum was the controversy with which his local government was pushing for statehood whilst its independency supporters felt deprived of the right to vote. exile. Irrespective of the latest policy state consultation with the German authorities, Bevacqua said that Guam should still work towards its own referendum and only have the best hopes that the US will open up to it.

Independent Guåhan hopes to organise a three-monthly series of rallies or concerts such as Songs of Freedom and respect the Chamoru People Day, Bevacqua said.
