OVER 78 years since World War II blasted onto the shores of the Northern Marianas our community continues to come together to share stories, speak the names, and practice the traditions of those whose lives were lost.
To honor and remember the Chamorro and Carolinian civilians who perished as a result of the war, American Memorial Park is hosting a community event on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Visitors Center.
In partnership with CNMI Indigenous Affairs Office and CNMI Carolinian Affairs Office there will be weaving, flower wreath making and beading stations for all to enjoy and learn.
At 6 p.m. everyone is welcome to join a candlelight walk to the Marianas Memorial followed by a short program. LED candles will be available at the Visitor Center.
If you are unable to make the event on the 27th, the Marianas Memorial will remain aglow with candles in memory of those lost from Oct. 27 through Nov. 2.
For more information or questions, contact the Visitor Center at (670) 234-7207 extension 2020 or email nataline_kaneshi@nps.gov/.
