The Richard Flores Taitano Micronesian Area Research Center (MARC) embarked on a journey to uncover and document the unique layers of history found at Litekyan in an effort to tell the larger story of the CHamoru people of Guam. The MARC captured this story in the award-winning book Lina'la: Portraits of Life at Litekyan published by the University of Guam Press.
The book's creative team will share their experiences compiling information and photographing this ancient village. They will also discuss the value of respectfully documenting the stories of villages like Litekyan, and the importance of working with the community to do so.

In this HITA presentation, Dr. Carlos Madrid Álvarez-Piñer, associate professor of Spanish Pacific history within the Micronesian Area Research Center (MARC), will discuss the objects from Guam that were part of the Expo and remain in Madrid’s national museum of anthropology.
