- Traditional CHamoru Cultural Values
Ancient CHamorus have been described as kind and peaceful people (Russell, 1998) who strove to live in harmony with the land, air, sea, and one another. CHamoru villages were comprised of the family unit, and sustained their livelihood through fishing, hunting, and trading with their neighbors. Modern-day CHamorus continue to have a deep sense of spirituality in which ancestral spirits, or taotao mo’na, are venerated and elders, or the manamko’, are held in high regard for their wisdom, life experience, and age. Modern-day CHamoru norms and values are referred to as kustumbren CHamoru.

- CHamoru ancestry
By using newer and less invasive methods to obtain reliable DNA samples, scientists were able to analyze burials in Naton and Haputo in Guam, and in Saipan and Pohnpei. Modern DNA samples from residents of these islands were taken as well.
The results were clear.
The indigenous people of the Marianas derive all their pre-colonial ancestry from East Asian sources, specifically islands in Southeast Asia, Hunter-Anderson said, citing female-inherited DNA groups.
More than 90% of Unai DNA studied includes the most common maternally-inherited lineage in modern CHamoru people, the researchers said.

- Origin of village name in CHamoru
Barrigada comes from the CHamoru word meaning “flank” (the side of the stomach). The first written mention of the word “Barrigada” comes from Recollect Father Aniceto Ibanez del Carmen, who served on Guam for 40 years and in 1866, referred to people hunting deer in the region called “Barrigadan Tiyan.”
