I Gima’Tåga or the House of Tåga on the island of Tinian
A 19th century drawing of I Gima’Tåga or the House of Tåga on the island of Tinian. I Gima’Taga is the largest known latte house in the Marianas.
The House of Tåga originally featured 12 latte although by the 1800s only seven of them remained standing.
At the start of the 20th century, only five remained standing.
After World War II, a single latte remained upright, and it still stands up until this day.
There is a legend that so long as one latte remains upright from his great house, Tåga still lives.
In the same way, the latte itself is thought to be a symbol of the CHamoru people, their resilience in the midst of colonization and historical change.
