The Guam Preservation Trust offers Ekungok i EstoriÃ¥-ta (Listen to Our Stories), an online resource for teaching about Guam’s historic sites. These 10 treasured stories of significant historic sites on Guam are told in CHamoru, both in narrative and song, as the goal of this project is to provide opportunities for teachers to use a variety of teaching methods for place-based learning.Â
Through their story, students will learn the importance of oral storytelling and how it plays an important role in Pacific Island cultures.
