🌺 I Hininåo-Ta: Journey of the Chamoru People - A Theatrical Journey of Our Identity, Resilience, and Enduring Spirit
A celebration of Guåhan’s story—told through movement, memory, and the strength of our people.
🎭 Join us at the Guam Museum Theatre for a powerful live performance that honors our past and inspires our future.
The highly anticipated cultural production I Hinanao-ta (Our Journey) is scheduled to return for its second season during the 2026 Guam Museum series. This immersive showcase presents a fresh and powerful take on Chamorro heritage through music, song, and dance. Executive Producer and Master of Chamorro Dance, Vince Reyes, shares that the I Hinanao-ta show is, “a fresh new way to present our culture — it’s dynamic, it’s heartfelt, and it speaks to the spirit and resilience of the Chamorro people.” Inspired by the current I Hinanao-ta exhibit at the Guam Museum, the stage production brings the island’s rich cultural history to life. Leona Young, Guam Museum Administrator, adds, “This is a very exciting time for the Guam Museum. Guests will experience the transition from the static history of our island to a living, breathing journey of our people. It’s an extraordinary experience.” The show takes audiences on an emotional and historical voyage, highlighting not only the history of the Chamorro people, but also their strength, adaptability, and cultural evolution.

I loved the finale tying in the Fanoge Chamoru and Senguiya Hao Guahan and the crowd joining in. Felt really powerful.
Loved it!
When the song Ramon San started, it brought back memories of my grandparents stories of WWII. How they were forced laborers by the Japanese.
I walked into the show expecting to be entertained, but what I didn’t expect was to be moved so deeply. From the first strum of the guitar to the final Fanohge CHamoru blend, I felt something awaken in me… something ancestral, emotional, and beautifully familiar and I missed it. I was mahålang.
The show showcased that even throughout our history, no matter who was occupying our island, that we as a CHamoru people kept our identity and culture even through adversity.
Can’t wait for the next show! My family and I loved it!
It was so POWERFUL at the end to sing the fanohge CHamorru and have audience engagement. Power to the creative thought at making it a community ending, which is what being CHamorru is all about— community and inclusion.
I would recommend this production over and over again! I was sooooo moved by its content, and it certainly shifted the way we can think about our identity. Biba CHamoru! Biba Marianas! Biba Y Hina’naotao!
