HAGÅTÑA (IHFG) — I Hagan Famalåo’an Guåhan Inc. continues to present “Mo’na: Finding Our Way,” a 10-part webinar series for women to examine, analyze and interpret historical roles of CHamoru women in the Marianas, sustainability practices, and health and indigenous healing practices within a humanities context. The webinar series features presentations led by CHamoru women scholars, activists, experts and cultural practitioners, facilitated discussion and other interactive components.
The sixth event in the 10-part series is entitled “Prutehi: Using CHamoru Worldviews to Protect Our Natural and Cultural Resources” with Guam Sen. Sabina Flores Perez and Julia Faye Muñoz on Saturday, March 20 at 10:30 a.m. CHST.
How do we preserve our lands and waters for generations to come? This session will explore the meaning and value given to these resources through a cultural lens and framework of human and indigenous rights. Identifying ongoing challenges and potential opportunities for the protection of these resources, this session will also examine the traumas of land displacement and modes of stewardship and empowerment for indigenous people seeking to reconnect to their ancestral lands. Audiences may attend the webinar on the IHFG Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/haganguahan
This project is made possible through a grant from Humanities Guåhan, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the federal CARES Act, as well as funding from the Guam Economic Development Authority. In addition to presenting the webinar series, IHFG dedicated a portion of grant funds to offer a laptop and MiFi lending service to support women’s participation in the webinar series.
