  • As travel opportunities emerged, the passion for traveling and exploration was ignited. This event was coupled with social, economic, and political forces that were reshaping the Chamorros’ abilities to sustain meaningful and satisfying lives on their islands. This led towards the migration of Chamorros from their native islands to the continental US.
  • Chamorro migration was spurred by three primary reasons: the call to military service, the pursuit of greater education, and the search for better opportunities.
  • Migration to the United States began as early as 1900s.
  • Chamorros before WWII were relatively unknown to the rest of the world. The Mariana Islands were predominantly populated by Chamorros. It was not until after the war and during the reconstruction era that non-Chamorros had a significant presence on the islands. It was also during this period that a major restructuring of the social-economic structure of the Chamorro people and their culture occurred. Several restructuring events that brought different rules and different way of living to the Chamorro were the result of their migration to the United States in search of improving their lives.

  • After World War II in the 1940s,  the induction of young Chamorro men into the US Nave led to the first wave of Chamorro military families leaving Guam and settling in California. 
  • The mass migration of Chamorros began as a result of the destructive typhoon in 1960. Many families angered at the typhoon's destruction decided to leave for California, where other families have been already settled there.
  • According to the 1980 census, the number of Chamorros in the US was 30,695. By 1990, the number of Chamorros grew to 49,345. The most current census in 2000 counted 58,240 Chamorros in the fifty states.

  1. I'm sharing my story to help others break free from the shackles of herpes. Since 2015, I've struggled with this virus, relying on antiviral medication and supplements to manage symptoms, but not finding a cure.
    In 2022, a blogger's story caught my attention. She shared her journey of being cured of genital herpes using Dr. Utu's herbal cure. Inspired, I reached out to Dr. Utu via his email: drutuherbalcure@gmail.com.
    It's been over a year since I've been herpes-free! I'm grateful to God for using Dr. Utu to heal me. I'm committed to sharing my story and recommending Dr. Utu to others. He specializes in treating sexually transmitted diseases. Feel free to contact him on his direct email,
    drutuherbalcure@gmail.com and don't forget to mention I referred you!

    1. I want to take a moment to share my deeply personal experience with herpes, as I truly believe that my story can offer hope and encouragement to others who may find themselves navigating a similar journey. A few years back, I was faced with the overwhelming reality of being diagnosed with herpes. At first, I felt utterly lost and unsure of what this meant for my future, especially after being informed that there was no effective cure available. The emotional turmoil and stigma associated with the diagnosis weighed heavily on me.
      In the midst of this struggle, a close friend reached out and suggested that I contact an African herbal doctor named Dr. Utu. Initially, I was quite skeptical; I had my doubts about trying an alternative treatment. However, driven by desperation and the desire to find some relief, I decided to reach out to him. Fortunately, Dr. Utu was incredibly comforting and knowledgeable, providing me with an herbal treatment regimen that he believed would address my condition.
      After about four weeks of following his recommendations diligently, I returned for testing. To my utter amazement, my results came back negative for herpes! The news was not only a huge relief but also a turning point in my life. Since then, I have continued to undergo testing multiple times, and I am overjoyed to report that the results have consistently remained negative.
      If you find yourself exploring alternative options for your own health, I highly encourage you to consider reaching out to Dr. Utu to discuss his approach and what he might offer. You can contact him at his email address, drutuherbalcure@gmail.com.
      This is my lived experience, and I sincerely hope it offers some comfort and courage to those who need it
