The Chamoru __ An Excerpt from Fray Juan Pobre's Notations of the
Chamorros in the year 1602. "They are so peace-loving that, during all

people of any village quarrel amongst themselves. Surely, this puts the
people of our country to shame, for there is hardly a peaceful home, to
say nothing of a peaceful village." - from Ray Baza -
