The Footprints chapter is for telling stories concerning places and place names. These are the marks left on the landscape not only by those who came before, but in some cases by gods and supernatural beings as they travelled this land. But because of the relocation of the Chamorro people by the Spanish in the late 1600s, almost all of this place-based storytelling was lost. The Carolinian population, while bringing some stories from their home islands, are too recently settled to have legends that focus on the Northern Mariana islands. Nonetheless, our guides have emphasized that despite this rupture, Chamorro and Carolinian cultures carry on traditions in other ways, including certain practices and values. Here we present these value and tradition based "Footprints" of the ancestors that remain imprinted on Tanapag today.
