Litekyan (Ritidian) in northern Guam is one of the only places on the island where every period of human life can still be traced. Lina'la: Portraits of Life at Litkeyan features an incredible collection of photos capturing the people, plants, wild and sea life, landscapes, water resources, artifacts, and legacies of Litekyan, spanning 3,500 years of life. This unique and powerful publication not only provides valuable information about such a significant historic and cultural site, but also about the history of the CHamoru people.

This book tells the story of the courageous people of Malesso', an idyllic village in southern Guam. During the Japanese occupation, after scores of their people were killed, a group of men rose up in a little-known place called At氓te, where they fought and massacred the Japanese to protect their families and, in doing so, liberated themselves.

Over time, the CHamoru people of the Mariana Islands have been subjected to the ravishes of natural disasters, pestilence, war, and myriads of disquieting circumstances. After the arrival of the Spanish missionaries in the islands, such events were recorded, first by the Jesuits (1668-1769), and later by their successors, the Augustinian Recollects (1789-1908). The many Jesuit records have long been available; those of the Augustinians have been conspicuous by their absence. In 1969, an abridged version of a long sought after nineteenth century register, or chronicle, known to have been kept in the Hag氓t帽a parish church was presented to the Micronesian Area Research Center, thereby confirming the survival of at least portions of the parish's Libro de cosas notables (The Book of Notable Things). For today鈥檚 readers, the Chronicle of the Mariana Islands is a treasure-trove of Chamorro nineteenth century memorabilia.
