     Traditional CHamoru Cultural Values
     Ancient CHamorus have been described as kind and peaceful people (Russell, 1998) who strove to live in harmony with the land, air, sea, and one another. CHamoru villages were comprised of the family unit, and sustained their livelihood through fishing, hunting, and trading with their neighbors. Modern-day CHamorus continue to have a deep sense of spirituality in which ancestral spirits, or taotao mo’na, are venerated and elders, or the manamko’, are held in high regard for their wisdom, life experience, and age. Modern-day CHamoru norms and values are referred to as kustumbren CHamoru.
