Description
Book Synopsis
CHamoru Legends: A Gathering of Stories retells 12 CHamoru legends with personal reflections from author Teresita Lourdes Perez, unique illustrations for each legend by Guam artists, and versions of the legends in the CHamoru language by Maria Ana Tenorio Rivera. The publication is a reversible book featuring the legends in English on one side and in CHamoru on the other. Through these layers of interpretation, the book weaves together strips of wisdom and cultural lessons like leaves used to shape the CHamoru guåfak, or mat, upon which the earliest CHamoru storytellers sat sharing their versions of these timeless tales.Review Quotes
"Having CHamoru legends within the family helps bind the ties from whoever is telling the story--whether it's your grandfather, grandmother, great-grandparents--to the children . . . especially if you're using the CHamoru language."--Maria Ana Tenorio Rivera, CHamoru educator and translator of CHamoru Legends: A Gathering of Stories
