In this episode of Tradition Cafe, Ana sits down with Lillian Quinata to explore the rich history and culture of Guam. They discuss the lasting impact of generational trauma on the Chamorro people, the importance of preserving the Chamorro language, and the island’s deep respect for family traditions and elders.
Ana and Lillian also examine Guam’s complex history of colonization—from centuries under Spanish rule to Japanese occupation during World War II, including the suffering endured in concentration camps, and finally becoming a U.S. territory. They reflect on the significance of Liberation Day, Guam’s annual celebration of freedom and cultural pride.
Join them as they uncover personal stories, cultural traditions, and reflections on identity that highlight the enduring spirit of Guam and its people.
