HAGÅTÑA (IHFG) — I Hagan Famalåo’an Guåhan Inc. presents Åmot Famalåo’an with Terilyn Francisco, LCSW, MSW and Frances Meno, Yo Åmte. This event will take place on Saturday, July 10 at 10:30 a.m. CHST. Linking physical recovery and spiritual restoration, this event will focus on indigenous healing practices that holistically promote women’s health. The presentations will highlight the power of åmot Famalåo’an (women’s medicine) as well as chant, storytelling, communal healing, and the ways these practices have sustained us over time. Free Labatorio Kits for women will be provided after the event
This is the 9th installment in the series, Mo’na: Finding Our Way, created 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 series features presentations led by CHamoru women scholars, activists, experts and cultural practitioners, facilitated discussion and other interactive components. Unique from previous webinar presentations in the series and given the sensitive nature of this topic, this private in-person event is being hosted at the Agat Community Center. Space is limited and registration is required. Women may register to attend at: https://bit.ly/IHFG_Amot
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 and the Pawanka Indigenous Fund. 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.
