Chamorro Culture
Chamorro culture is the indigenous culture of the Chamorro people from the Mariana Islands, particularly Guam. It is characterized by a rich history that blends ancient traditions with influences from Spanish colonization and American presence. Key elements include traditional music, dance, and crafts, as well as a strong emphasis on family and community values.
Cuisine is an essential aspect of Chamorro culture, featuring dishes like red rice, kelaguen, and tinaktak. The Chamorro language, a part of the Austronesian language family, is also vital for preserving cultural identity. Festivals and celebrations, such as Fiesta, showcase the vibrant heritage and communal spirit of the Chamorro people.
