In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we bring you an episode from Inheriting Season One. Inheriting is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. Leialani Wihongi-Santos is CHamoru and was raised on the island of Guam with a distorted view of history. She was taught that the United States "saved” her island from occupation by Imperial Japan. As she’s gotten older, Leialani has learned that framing is not entirely true. In some ways, the U.S. military took advantage of the island and the people who live there, sometimes destroying culture and customs that had survived centuries of colonization. Leialani is now determined to understand more of this history from a CHamoru perspective, so she can preserve and teach it to others. In this episode, she turns to her grandpa, Joseph Aflleje-Santos, for answers. Stay connected with us!

Send us a textIn 2022, Fanachu put out a call for Chamorus living outside of the Marianas to share their reflections and experiences in the diaspora. Dozens of artists, writers, musicians and performers responded and in 2023 we released an online zine titled "Voices of the Chamoru Diaspora" edited by Amara Rose San Agustin. For this episode of Fanachu, four of the 40 who were included in the zine joined for a virtual launch episode to discuss both their experiences as diasporic Chamorus and their particular submissions. Appearing as guests on this episode were Isa Gagarin, Ed Sablan, Aren Kerr and Connie Santos. You can download a copy of the zine at this link. This episode first premiered on March 22, 2023 and was hosted by Amara Rose San AgustinThe audio for this episode is produced by Tåsi Chargualaf and includes the song "Kantan Chamorro" by Gus and Doll.Support the show

Send us a textThe majority of the Chamoru people in the world today are unable to speak their native language. To help keep the language a living part of our community, it is imperative that we do away with the stigma of not being able to speak Chamoru and instead focus on normalizing the everyday learning of Chamoru. For this episode of Fanachu, a group of active learners of the Chamoru language from the Marianas and the diaspora shared their experiences.Appearing as guests on this episode were Jessie Neal, Tristan Quintanilla, Davina Cruz-Armstrong and Janai Limtiaco. This episode first premiered on March 15, 2023 and was hosted by Michael Lujan Bevacqua. The audio for this episode is produced by Tåsi Chargualaf and includes the song "Typhoon Karen" by The Charfauros Brothers. Support the show

What happens when best friends in different disciplines decide to formalize their creative relationship and then invite a third artist into their artmaking experiment? A vibrant, equitable and joyful collective by the name of Art 25: Art in the 25th Century is born.Art 25's core artists are poet Lehua M. Taitano, visual artist Lisa Jarrett and multi-disciplinary artist Jocelyn Kapumealani Ng. Separately, Lehua, who is CHamoru; Lisa, who is Black; and Jocelyn, who has Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese roots had been exploring similar themes of identity and diaspora in their artistic practice. Fusing their talents and perspectives, however, allowed them access to an even deeper well of experience and imagination from which to draw inspiration.Since Art 25's founding, the collective's work has been seen at several institutions, including the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, and in February of 2025 it will be exhibited at the Pacific Island Ethnic Art Museum in Long Beach, CA.In this interview, Lehua, Lisa and Jocelyn describe how they joined their creative forces and explain the core anti-capitalistic values of Art 25 that not only place it firmly outside the artistic mainstream but continue to bring them joy.https://www.lehuamtaitano.com/art-25

Send us a textThe late Joaquin “JC” Concepcion or Siñot Kin was an integral part of the Fanachu team before he passed away in October 2023. Through his collaboration with Fanachu over several years he hosted almost four dozen Fino' Chamoru dikike' na podcast episodes of "Kuentos Guåhan" and also helped organize a dozen episodes in our series highlighting the roots of contemporary Chamoru musicians from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Siñot Kin developed a passion for music early on and first joined the group the Radiants in the 1960s. Despite some breaks, he would still be playing with them at the time of his passing decades later. For this episode of Fanachu he talked about his love of music in general, love of Chamoru music in particular and love of Chamoru language and culture and why we need to keep it alive for future generations. This was a Fino' Chamoru episode of Fanachu and first premiered on January 25, 2023 and was hosted by Michael Lujan Bevacqua. The audio for this episode is produced by Akli'e' Chan Bevacqua and includes the song "Munga Yu Ma Fino Inglesi" by Johnny Sablan. Support the show

Send us a textThe Tiempon Españot or Spanish period of Guam History lasted for more than two hundred years and was a time filled with many dramatic changes for the Chamoru people in terms of their culture and identity. There are many misconceptions about this period of history that have been reinforced in Guam History books over the years, that have marginalized the voices of Chamorus who were both becoming integrated into and challenging the Spanish empire at this time. For this episode of Fanachu from 2022, Dr. Carlos Madrid from the Micronesian Area Research Center at the University of Guam will be shared some insights into Guam in the 1800s and how we can re-imagine the period to provide a more accurate story of the Chamoru experience and perspective.This episode originally premiered on December 28, 2022 and was hosted by Michael Lujan Bevacqua. Support the show

In Tip of the Spear: Land, Labor, and US Settler Militarism in Guåhan, 1944–1962 (Cornell University Press, 2023), Dr. Alfred Peredo Flores argues that the US occupation of the island of Guåhan (Guam), one of the most heavily militarised islands in the western Pacific Ocean, was enabled by a process of settler militarism. During World War II and the Cold War, Guåhan was a launching site for both covert and open US military operations in the region, a strategically significant role that turned Guåhan into a crucible of US overseas empire. In 1962, the US Navy lost the authority to regulate all travel to and from the island, and a tourist economy eventually emerged that changed the relationship between the Indigenous CHamoru population and the US military, further complicating the process of settler colonialism on the island. The US military occupation of Guåhan was based on a co-constitutive process that included CHamoru land dispossession, discursive justifications for the remaking of the island, the racialization of civilian military labour, and the military's policing of interracial intimacies. Within a narrative that emphasises CHamoru resilience, resistance, and survival, Dr. Flores uses a working class labour analysis to examine how the militarization of Guåhan was enacted by a minority settler population to contribute to the US government's hegemonic presence in Oceania. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

This week, we're sharing an episode from Inheriting, a new podcast from our friends at LAist Studios and the NPR Network. The show, hosted by Emily Kwong, is centered on the stories of Asian American and Pacific Islander families. It explores how one event in history can ripple through the generations of those families. In this episode, we hear from Leialani Wihongi-Santos. Leialani is CHamoru and lives in Southern California, but she was born and raised on the island of Guam. Growing up, Leialani was taught that the United States "saved” her island from occupation by Imperial Japan. But she later learned that framing is not entirely true. Emily sits down with Leialani and her grandfather, Joseph Aflleje-Santos, for answers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Some of the names we use for places in Guam can be traced by centuries, others are more recent. Within each village there are areas and places that also bear names that go back into the history of the island, carrying with them memories, stories and sometimes wisdom.

Two of the newest National Book Awards winners reinterpret conventional views of their homelands through their unique, Indigenous lenses. Yale historian Dr. Ned Blackhawk (Western Shoshone) reexamines five centuries of U.S. history in his new book Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of U.S. History. He explores Native people's overlooked role from the arrival of Spanish explorers to self-determination. And a collection of experimental and visual poems, from unincorporated territory [åmot], by Dr. Craig Santos Perez (Chamoru) recounts recollections of his homeland of Guam. Åmot is the medicine he invokes to heal colonial traumas. We'll speak with both of the authors about these new works and the Indigenous histories they rediscover.

This episode of Fanachu! featured a panel of active learners of the Chamoru language, who shared their experiences and their journeys in learning Chamoru and embracing more of their heritage. All of the guests have been students in Dr. Michael Lujan Bevacqua's free zoom Chamoru classes offered each Saturday. Fanachu has hosted multiple episodes with Chamorus seeking to learn their native language, who share their language learning journeys. As more than 80% of Chamorus in the world today cannot speak their native language, it is important to normalize and nurture the learning of Chamoru, not mock those who weren't taught the language growing up.This episode featured as guests Patricia Pocaigue Beuke, David Taitingfong, Natalie "Pachang" Velasco and Charlie and Avery Selk.

Episode premiered in 2020, in response to debate and backlash on Twitter about the authenticity of contemporary Chamoru dance. Pim Limtiaco, Fu'una Sanz and Luke Tedtaotao, all cultural dancers and musicians gathered for this episode of Fanachu to address the criticism of something that they have dedicated their lives to promoting. Is Chamoru dance just made up? Or is it stolen? Is there such a thing as authentic Chamoru dance or culture? They discuss what it means to practice Chamoru dance, the meaning behind their dances, and their commitment to not only the culture but also the famagu'on that find comfort in these practices. This episode was filmed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and prior to it being announced that FESTPAC 2020 was being postponed due to the pandemic.

On this episode, we're talking with Tara Benavente (she/they) about the housing crisis, particularly in Portland, OR and what we can do about it. We explore common misconceptions and biases about unhoused folks. We talk about the systems (which are made up of people, btw) that contribute to houselessness and delay or block solutions to this crisis. You'll be invited to reflect on your own beliefs and biases and take action to be part of the solution. Tara's Bio: Tara is an indigenous CHamoru who moved to Portland in 2010 and has been volunteering and working with houseless individuals and communities since 2012 in various shelter settings using a trauma-informed housing-first model. Her work is rooted in Restorative Justice philosophy and practice. Over the past few years, Tara has managed new projects such as motel shelters and tiny home transitional shelters in Portland. She now works as a director of Restorative Justice with Resolutions Northwest and desires to bring restorative justice practices into houseless services and self-governed communities. Outside of this work, Tara loves to hike, camp, climb, swim, and is always adventuring and exploring the PNW with her wife Kimmy.

In this episode of the Climate Changed podcast, you will experience: A centering practice as Craig Santos Perez reads his poem, “Thanksgiving in the Anthropocene” from his book of poetry Habitat Threshold. Music: Hymn for the Brave by Miles Avida. Ben Yosua-Davis and poet Craig Santos Perez have a moving conversation about raising children in a time of climate change. Craig also reads two of his original poems. Ben and Nicole's discussion and reflections about the conversation.  Next Steps for Engaged Hope. About Craig Santos Perez Dr. Craig Santos Perez is an indigenous Chamoru from Guam. He is the co-editor of five anthologies and the author of five books of poetry and the academic monograph, Navigating Chamoru Poetry: Indigeneity, Aesthetics, and Decolonization. He holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the U of San Francisco and a PhD in Ethnic Studies from the U of California, Berkeley. He is a professor in the English department, and affiliate faculty with the Center for Pacific Islands Studies, at the U of Hawai'i at Manoa, where he teaches Pacific literature, creative writing, and eco-poetry.  Click here for a full transcript of this episode.  Some Highlights from the Conversation “Butterball, Butterball, Butterball,” a line from “Thanksgiving in the Anthropocene” One of the major themes Craig writes about is food, as well as agriculture and food supply systems. “I think food is such a wonderful way for us to think about these larger issues and think about diet and the ethics of eating, the use of plastic and other packaging materials, the routes that the food takes to get to our plate, the animals that are slaughtered, as well as the workers who are often exploited.” The poem offers a searing commentary, but Ben notes, “However, there's also something incredibly playful about the poem in the reading.” "What am I supposed to do with this damaged future that I'm giving them?" — Ben Yosua-Davis Ben and Craig pull back the curtains on parenting and reveal their own fears and concerns about possibly sharing too much too soon with their young children. When and how do you tell your children that the more-than-human world they love is at great risk? When do you shelter a child with silence and when do you begin the conversation? “...it gives them a space for creative expression and for healing.” — Craig Santos Perez Criag talks about his university students and how writing poetry that takes on ecological disasters helps them come closer to the issues and find a path forward. Craig explains, “I've also noticed how, you know, once students learn about these issues, once they write their own poetry about what is happening, they're much more inclined to actually, you know, go to a beach cleanup, or to march in the climate change rally or to attend other environmental events.” “Knowing how to grieve teaches us how to love.” — Nicole Diroff  Nicole Diroff joins Ben to discuss the themes that came up in the conversation. She explains the ways she talks to her eight-year-old, Elliot. “I've made a real commitment to finding the right language, because my child may be five, or six, or eight, or 12, to find the right language to have the conversation, but making sure that that my son knows that I'm the sort of person to talk about these topics with that I'm desiring to learn and live in this world at the same time that he is. It's really important with our children, and I say with our children, but I kind of mean just with other people to allow the space for authentic expression of emotion.”   Next Steps for Engaged Hope Even if we are not poets like Craig, it is always helpful to do creative work around these topics. I imagine there are listeners who will benefit from writing a poem about one of the topics that came up in the podcast. If you write the poem, you can share it with others through social media or face to face with family or friends. You can even send us a copy.  Craig suggests, “Spend some time those dawn and dusk hours outside with loved ones, with a favorite beverage to really just be in that moment and to connect to the deeper spirit of things.” For any of you who are interested in playing with painting as compared to poetry, Nicole invites you to go to look at the Earthbound Practices on The BTS Center website.  There you learn about the creativity practices, led by our friend Bronwen Mayer Henry, where she invites you to take out some coloured pencils, or chalk, or pens, and play with a notebook. To check out more of Craig Santos Perez's work, you can visit his website. You will find links to his books, including Habitat Threshold, which was published in 2020. You can also see videos, read essays, and learn more about his research. Climate Changed is a brand new podcast about pursuing faith, life, and love in a climate-changed world. Hosted by Nicole Diroff and Ben Yosua-Davis. Climate Changed features guests who deepen the conversation while also stirring the waters. The Climate Changed podcast is a project of The BTS Center. The show is produced by Peterson Toscano

Rachel and Steph are still beyond humbled that Craig Santos Perez, who has won an American Book Award, agreed to be on their podcast. They chat with Craig, an indigenous CHamoru, about moving from his home island of Guam to California as a teenager, quitting his first job at Little Caesars, landing a teaching job, and using writing to address and cope with climate change and climate anxiety. Rachel has the audacity to give him a writing tip; Craig teaches Steph how to improve her discussion-leading skills; and Rachel challenges Steph to a poetry-writing contest… to be judged… by an American Book Award Winner… which definitely doesn't stress them out… at all.
