The tradition of seafaring as practiced by Chamorros on Guam some 400 years ago is revived. Construction of an outrigger canoe and ocean navigation by the old ways of Micronesia are featured. The website 'Explore Guam's Cultural Heritage' features a variety of Chamorro traditions and customs at www.guampreservationtrust.com.

  • This is a slap to the yapese, I see a yapese canoe in there not chamorro canoe. that canoe with Y things at both ends are only find in Yap and islands that are part of Yap or once belong to the Yapese empire. Chamorro and other micronesians don't do celestial navigation because they don't have the history to back it up such as trades or empire; the same thing as the Hawaiians claim.
