Siñot Antonio shares stories of his discrimination and oppression at the hands of the U.S. military.

Prologue: After falling asleep in the jungle during a leisurely hike, Manny awakens to find that he has been unconscious for nearly a month. He soon learns of a blossoming indigenous consciousness movement developing after the questionable triumph of a recent pageant contestant.

Great times and with the ever-anonymous Machalek Sindalu. Enjoy!

Dispensa yu' para i sound quality! We had a large, awesome group this evening. But we are working on upgrading our audio quality. Biba! - Manny

Fanachu! veterans reflect on on spirituality at arguably Guåhan's most sacred site. Unscripted, practically unedited--everything here is from the heart. **** If you're planning to visit Fouha, be mindful of the ancient history and cultural importance of the area and the Native people of Guam. Go with someone who knows and understands the area well; and most importantly, go with love and appreciation, not to conquer.

We talk with Joni Kerr and Sabina Perez about the renewed effort to save Litekyan (Ritidian) from becoming a Surface Danger Zone (SDZ) for the military's proposed firing range. Also on the table are Native rights and our role in protecting our natural resources.

Tony Babauta is the former assistant secretary to the Department of Interior for Insular Affairs. In this episode, he talks about his experience working in D.C. for Guam and the other territories.
