The Mariana Islands, homeland of Chamorus, is a matrilineal society that has dealt with various waves of colonialism, often changing the routes of mobility available to Chamoru families. This essay discusses the outmigration of Chamorus under Spanish and American colonial rule through uncovering the absent accounts of our women’s experiences and the ways they aided in the community building in the diaspora. Their continued role as matriarchal figures push narratives about Chamoru issues to grapple with the lack of engagement with Chamoru women’s stories.KEYWORDS: Pacific Islands studiesChamoru womenIndigenous studiesdiasporamilitarizationAmerican colonization Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. Lehua M. Taitano, “A Love Letter to the Chamoru People in the Twenty-first Century,” in Inside Me an Island (Cincinnati, OH: WordTech Editions, 2018), 15.2. “Chamorro” is often used in general practice, when writing in English, and written according to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands’ orthography. “Chamoru” is used when writing in the native language. In 2017, Guam’s Kumision I Fino’ Chamorro (Chamorro Language Commission) adopted “Chamoru” to emphasize that “CH” and “NG” are considered one letter and should be capitalized as such. I choose to use “Chamoru” to reference our Indigenous language and be inclusive of the Mariana Islands as a whole. The Mariana Islands are also referred to as Låguas yan Gåni. Låguas are the southern, populated islands and Gåni refers to the northern islands in the archipelago; Tiara R.

Specifically, the article looks at Ounei’s contribution to making Kanak women into political subjects, her critique of antiblackness in Oceania and by settlers of color in Kanaky/New Caledonia, and her exploration of Kanak feminist resistance against French civilizational feminism.
