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. The Kumision I Fino’ CHamoru has been working on documenting and also restoring place names on Guam.

For this episode of Fanachu Guam Kumision I Fino' CHamoru member Robert Underwood and then Special Projects Coordinator Elyssa Santos provided updates on this important work.

This episode was hosted by Michael Lujan Bevacqua and originally aired on November 2, 2022.

This episode was audio engineered by Curtis J. Jewell and uses music from Jonah Hånom and his performance at the 2021 Na'lå'la' Songs of Freedom Vol 5 concert.
