Mavis Van Peenan was an US Navy wife who lived on the island of Guam for a number of years just before the start of World War II in 1941. While she lived in Guam she interviewed a number of CHamorus, collecting stories, legends and other beliefs many of are still commonly told today such as the Legends of Gådao, Camel Rock and Alupang.

Some of these images include the CHamorus who she interviewed, such as this elderly man.
