Get the Chamorro mug.An indigenous Pacific Ocean group and culture from the Mariana Islands. The Mariana Islands are politically divided between Guam and The Northern Mariana Islands. The Chamorros have been depicted as being Filipinos but this has proven to be untrue culturally and genetically. The Chamorros are a distinct cultural and linguistic group seperate from other Pacific Island groups, e.g. Hawai'ians, and Asian groups, e.g. Filipinos. The next closest language related to Chamorro is a "distant cousin" language from the Toraja Cluster of Celebes, Indonesia.
Chamorro is also spelled Chamoru.
Chamorro is also spelled Chamoru.
A: Are you Guamanian or Chamorro?
B: I'm both.
A: How's that?
B: Guamanians are Chamorros from the island of Guam and not from the Northern Mariana Islands. If I were from the Northern Mariana Islands then I would be a Chamorro, but not a Guamanian.

Chamorro's are not Filipinos and were not from The Philippines,so if any of you don't know the difference then you need to go back to school,and for the dumbasses who say were Hawaiian Wannabees,first you need to learn how to speak proper english before you post on here..Were not Hawaiian Wannabees,were Pacific Islanders who just happen to be interested in other Pacific Island Cultures besides our own,and if you don't like it then that's your problem.

Get the chamorro mug.Micronesia: The islands of Kiribati, Guam, Nauru, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Palau, and the Federated States of Micronesia (Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae, all in the Caroline Islands).
The Chamorro people or Chamoru people are the indigenous people of the Mariana Islands, which include the American territory of Guam and the United States Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in Micronesia. Today, significant Chamoru populations also exist in several U.S. states including Hawaii, California, Washington, Texas and Nevada. According to the 2000 Census, approximately 65,000 people of Chamoru ancestry live on Guam and another 19,000 live in the Northern Marianas. Another 93,000 live outside the Marianas ( in Hawaii and West/Pacific coast of USA ). The Chamoru are primarily of Austronesian stock.
Most Chamorros are Roman Catholic and few in the Marianas still maintain some customs and beliefs from the time before the first European conquests. Some residents of the Marianas will still ask permission from ancestral spirits before entering parts of jungles. Traditional healers called suruhanas are still greatly respected for their knowledge of herbal treatments and spirits. Before Spanish colonization, Chamoru life centered on one's clan. Today, large extended families remain central to life in the Marianas.

We have poly decent and we evolved
But still what is the diffrence??
Ok a "flip" would let you ask that question one more time but a "chamorro" is about to knock you out
Chamorros are good people just because they lost some of their culture due to spanish and ww2 effects doest mean that they are not islanders but they are islanders that have lost their way.

Get the Chamorro mug.its chomorro from the island of guam not pinoy, tagalu (filipino), or any other asian descent that you ignorant people feel like you know you can call us. we have our own background and traditions that go back centuries to when the spanish armada was cruising around. (dont believe me look it up yourself.) ill admit we look asian but we are far from it, we are to lazy and kick back and to rough when it comes down to it. the island of guam is also modernized so were not 3rd world remember were part of the U.S. and we have military bases there. WE are very proud people and prefer to be called by our rightful nationality and if you insist on calling us asian or filipino go ahead but dont do it in front of us or youll regret....Trust me (warning).
Chamorro ME!!!!
