Where did u find these pictures
ReplyDeleteIf I am correct, the above tattoos of Guam are actually of the Carolinians living on Guam, not the native Chamoru. This is important to note.
ReplyDeleteAlso, according to early accounts, the Chamoru did not tattoo.
Great site!
definitely Carolinians of guam.
ReplyDeleteWho wrote this article or blog?? You got this all wrong. These people are not of guam but the caroline islands. Mainly around the outer islands of yap, chuuk and pohnpei. You need to get your facts straight!
ReplyDeleteNo need to stress out! Some of the early ships to pass by the island stopped only briefly. They probably had no idea that the tattooed people they saw were from other islands.
DeleteI agree all these old pictures are NOT the people of GUAM. I repeat these are NOT tattooes pitcures of native Chamorros. These tattooes are of the Caroline Islands specifically outer islands in Yap ( not mainl island Yap) Outer Islands of Yap are originally part or Ruk (Chuuk) as well as Refaluwash natives. Outsiders called us Carolinians. These tattooes are ours.
