I think that I am going to combine the Northern Mariana
Islands & Guam, which is the southernmost Mariana Island,
into one post. The people indigenous people of both these areas are the
Chamorros.
The music of the
Northern Mariana Islands & Guam is dominated by the folk music of
the Chamorros, which remains an important part of the islands' culture. The Chamorro or Chamoru people are the indigenous
peoples of the Mariana Islands. They are
commonly believed to have come from Southeast Asia
at around 2000 BC. They are most closely related to other Austronesian natives
to the west in the Philippines
& Taiwan,
as well as the Carolines to the south. They are expert seafarers & skilled
craftspeople familiar with intricate weaving & detailed pottery-making.
The Commonwealth of
the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) is one of two insular areas that are Commonwealths
of the United States; the
other is Puerto Rico. CNMI consists of fifteen
islands in the western Pacific Ocean located about three-quarters of the way between
Hawaii & the Philippines.
