<br />
There's a group of people who worked hard to organize and coordinate I Mina<br />
Kuattro Na Konferensian Chamorro. This project has no budget but a lot of<br />
committed and passionate people desiring to bring everyone together to<br />
develop a vision and action plans for the advancement of Chamorros.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is our hope that we can *come celebrate our collective progress and find<br />
common ground, as we work to address current and future challenges as a<br />
community and chart our course .<br />
*<br />
*Our Mission:<br />
*<br />
*To advance and promote the sustainable cultural, economic, and<br />
community development of Chamorros based in our indigenous cultural values;<br />
to educate our people; and to promote research and capacity building of<br />
community-based organizations that will contribute to the well-being of the<br />
Mariana Islands and its people.<br />
*<br />
*Our Vision:<br />
*<br />
*To engage and sustain a self-determined Chamorro community that is<br />
grounded in cultural knowledge and values and is directed towards the<br />
advancement and well-being of our people and the future of the Mariana<br />
Islands.<br />
*<br />
*Our Working Philosophy*:<br />
<br />
*That we come together to share and unite our people and lands as<br />
one entity while respecting our differences; that we find ways to resolve<br />
conflicts, heal our minds, bodies, and spirits in order to preserve, protect<br />
and promote the people of the Marianas, the Chamorros."<br />
