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.When I grow up I want to be chamar

Get the Chamar 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!!!!

Get the chamorro mug.A state of mind at a point in time in which a person voluntarily begins to enthusiastically project sounds with a loose mouth that derive from words (but are not necessarily words) and dances along with what the individual is currently "saying." It is done only for fun purposes. It can be done at any time of the day (usually done in private) and it is used to de-stress and to bring joy to life once again. Once done, the individual can laugh at him/herself and resume his/her day.
"Man, I wanna study for finals but my brain over here having a chacarron moment."
Talking to self: "Ah, I needed that chacarron moment. Now let's take on the day!"

Get the lucikey chamarme mug.Despite the fact that a lot of IDIOTS try to label us as frickin Filipinos or wannabe Hawaiians, Chamorros are good people. They are one of the most hospitable cultures around. If you have a negative view of Chamorros, THERE IS A FRICKIN REASON WHY!!!

Get the chamorro mug.People. Indigenous to Guam and a couple of islands north of the Philipines. Kind of lacking in cultural identity. They are basically Filipinos that speak english, but are kind of Hawaii wanabes. Pretty decent folks unless addicted to ice or some other shit.
Man I'm gonna go to Hawaii and get a Honda with a big Chamorro writen on the back window. Yeah that's it, that's what I should do.
