Alea Rosario Dugan (Familian Nganga' yan Nungi) is a CHamoru archaeologist and cultural practitioner. She speaks about her work as an archaeologist, acknowledging issues in archaeological practices in Guam, and the importance of paying respect and reverence to ancestral remains and spaces. In this, she speaks to the dynamic and changing aspects of CHamoru identity, and reminds us that not only are CHamorus still here, laid to rest within the land, but also existing and thriving as a people today.

This episode is from Kuentusi i Tano' (Speaking to Land), an ongoing film series that celebrates and privileges the voices and perspectives of indigenous Pacific Islanders, specifically indigenous CHamorus and those who trace their heritage to other islands in Micronesia - the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of Palau and the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) and their connections, stories, oral histories and traditions related to the deep cultural meaning of land.
