Hundreds of people gathered at the Bishop Museum on June 15th, 2024 for a ceremony around latte stones taken from the Mariana Islands in the 1920s and 1950s.
For this episode of Fanachu some of those who organized and attended the event share their thoughts on the history of these latte and their hopes that they be brought home. This ceremony took place during the 13th Festival of Pacific Arts and Cultures in Hawai'i and also represented a powerful moment of unity amongst Chamorus from across the Marianas and the diaspora.
