Chimora Week

This is a festival held every year in the last week of March.
The purpose of this festival is to pass down ancient
Chammarrow customs. The festival only started in the 1970's
because that is when the Native Guamanians felt they were
losing sight of their origins. During this week, the people
build and live in huts. They fish, hunt, make salt, do native
dances and live as the Chammarrow people did in the old days.
Each day is a fiesta.
