News stories and lectures

As the US plans one of its largest realignments of military assets in decades, the people of Guam struggle to grasp its impact to the island and its people. The planned military build up on Guam alone is expected to cost six billion dollars and will bring thousands of people to Guam, changing the island in many ways.

The move has brought national and international attention to Guam. Lectures, editorials and news articles are available here.
