Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northern Mariana Islands is a U.S. commonwealth located in the western Pacific Ocean. The archipelago consists of 15 islands, including the islands of Saipan, Tinian, and Rota. The islands cover a total area of approximately 179 square miles, and they are located to the northeast of Guam. The islands are a popular tourist destination, known for their beautiful beaches and thriving coral reefs. The indigenous people of the Northern Mariana Islands are known as the Chamorro people, and they have a rich cultural heritage with a history that stretches back thousands of years. The Northern Mariana Islands have a unique political status as a U.S. commonwealth. This means that the islands are self-governing, but they still maintain a close relationship with the United States. The islands have their own government, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which has its own constitution and system of laws. The islands also have a representative in the U.S. House of Representatives, but they do not have voting representation in the U.S. Senate. The economy of the islands is largely driven by tourism, as well as by the garment industry and agriculture. The islands also have a significant military presence, with strategic locations and bases on the islands.

Download or read book History of the Mariana Islands written by Luis de Morales and published by . This book was released on 2024-09-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Histoire des isles Marianes (History of the Mariana Islands), was published in Paris in 1700 with authorship attributed to French Jesuit priest Charles Le Gobien, S.J. It provides a detailed glimpse into a tumultuous and critically significant period in the history of the Mariana Islands and the CHamoru people--the period commonly referred to as the CHamoru-Spanish Wars. It includes detailed accounts of the first 30 years of the Jesuit mission in the Marinas. It also features speeches by CHamoru chiefs, including the famous speech by Maga'låhi Hurao that is etched onto the wall at the entrance of the Guam Museum. Using research conducted in several national and international archives in Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, and at the Richard F. Taitano Micronesian Area Research Center in Guam, Alexandre Coello de la Rosa produced this English translation of the first Spanish edition of Le Gobien's text. This present edition also stems from a manuscript preserved in the Arxiu de la Companyia de Jesus a Catalunya archive in Barcelona, with authorship attributed to Spanish Jesuit priest Luis de Morales, S.J., who had been part of the Jesuit mission to the Marianas in the late 1600s. Thus, this text calls into question Le Gobien's authorship. This edition opens with an in-depth introduction analyzing the context of the publication's history, as well as its significance over time. The book also features annotated notes that expand the narrative by providing details about the history of the Jesuit mission in the Marianas.

This book was released on 1997-03-07 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, while focusing on current preservation challenges posed by the Aga, or Mariana crow, also reflects the larger issues and challenges of biodiversity conservation in all oceanic island ecosystems. It evaluates causes for the continuing decline of the Aga, which exists on only the two southernmost islands in the Mariana archipelago, Guam and Rota, and reviews actions to halt or reverse the decrease. This book reminds us of the importance and challenge of preserving the unique environmental heritage of islands of the Mariana archipelago, the need for increased knowledge to restore and maintain native species and habitats, and the compelling and lasting value of extensive public education to stimulate environmentally informed public policy development.
