We've been liberated. Posted by Sirena Mafnas. Sirena.iris@gmail.c...Jessi...

paleric: MALESSO' FISHING SCENE
http://paleric.blogspot.com/2015/08/malesso-fishing-scene.html
Wednesday, August 12, 2015. They say the best time to fish is at night, when the sun doesn't chase the fish into deeper water. In the dark of night, the fish come up close to the surface so they can look for food. That's when the fish are easier to catch. This painting depicts just such a scene. It was painted by Påle' Marcian Pellett, an American Capuchin missionary who was the priest of Malesso' in 1940. To do this, one needed a hachón,. Then, the fisherman would use a spear, or fisga. Påle' Marcian, b...

You think you can use the word with your own meaning (a "friend"), but in another country it has a different meaning ("false friend"). Even though we borrowed our Chamorro word pendeho. From the Spanish, it means one thing in Chamorro, and another thing (or things, actually) in Spanish. For us, pendeho. Just means "a rascal," "rogue" or "a mischievous person.". Nå'e si pendeho ni salape'-ña. She remar...

paleric: THE GUÅFAK LAWSUIT
http://paleric.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-guafak-lawsuit.html
Friday, August 7, 2015. Pablo Pérez was a governor who stood out. Ruling over the Marianas for a long term, from 1848 till 1855, he certainly made his mark on the islands. He also stepped on a few toes, including American agents on Guam, as there were many American whalers coming to the island at the time, and he even managed to irritate the Spanish priests. For here we find in the documents a complaints made by three Inalåhan officials against Pérez over guåfak. Which is Spanish for "head.". But the Gov...
