<\/a><\/p>\nDanny Jackson <\/em><\/p>\n The overall goal to teach those in attendance about the island’s critical issues and the ability to express various opinions will be highlighted throughout.<\/p>\n The rally is scheduled to be held from 2 to 8 p.m. on May 23 at Skinner’s Plaza in Hag\u00e5t\u00f1a.<\/p>\n “It stems from the $1 million a week put forth by Judge [Frances] Tydingco-Gatewood, which we saw as federal interference on local governance,” stated primary event coordinator Victoria-Lola Leon Guerrero.<\/p>\n She cited such factors as the military buildup, land grabbing and lack of self determination as central reasons that prompted the Gu\u00e5han Youth to initiate a rally that centralizes on indigenous people’s self determination and other fundamental freedoms.<\/p>\n “It’s amazing that a lot of it is coming from the youth. People shouldn’t have to resign to hopelessness. The rally is intended to empower future generations to take leadership,” said Leon Guerrero, adding that the Gu\u00e5han Youth will show what they are “capable of as a community.”<\/p>\n “It’s frustrating to know that no one has spoken out,” said Leon Guerrero. “We need to focus on our language and culture in order to help stop all of this, and keep it as the land of the Chamorros. We don’t have power as a nation, but it is something that we are entitled to.”<\/p>\n I Nasion Chamoru’s Maga’ H\u00e5ga, Debbie Quinata, said I Nasion Chamoru is a supporter and that in no way should I Nasion Chamoru take any credit for the upcoming Chule’ Tatte Gu\u00e5han rally, which has been materialized and bolstered by the island’s youth movement.<\/p>\n “It’s important for young people to take responsibility for what will be their future. I will not take credit for this ingenious movement,” Quinata said. “It’s a great way to get information out to the community.”<\/p>\n
