The webinar series will feature presentations led by CHamoru women scholars, activists, experts and cultural practitioners and will also include facilitated discussion and other interactive components.
This project is made possible through a grant from Humanities Guåhan, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the federal CARES Act.
IHFG received the grant award on August 14, 2020.
The first event in the 10-part series is entitled “Finding Our Place in History” with Laura Souder, PhD and Elyssa Santos, MA and takes place on Thursday, November 19, 6 p.m. CHST. From leadership, to defending native language and protecting their homelands to ensure the survival of indigenous lifeways, CHamoru women have embodied significant roles throughout history. This webinar session will examine such roles as revealed in early accounts and how these roles continue to inspire and influence CHamoru women today. Audiences may attend the webinar on the IHFG Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/haganguahan
In addition to presenting the webinar series, IHFG has dedicated a portion of grant funds to offer laptop and MiFi lending service for women to participate. A limited number of laptops and MiFi devices will be made available to women in need of these resources. Applications may be filled out and submitted at http://bit.ly/haganguahan
