We've been asked through the years, "What kind of doctors are you anyway?" Our usual response is, "The idea kind, we try to make sense of things". Meaning making, as we define it, is the process we use to analyze and interpret social reality, our relationships, and how we respond to challenges. Writing columns for the Guam Sunday Post has provided us with a platform for sharing our insights on island life, our own experiences and the collective challenges we face as a Pacific community. Thus, the series title, Homegrown Fundamentals, which features our thoughts on key issues from the ground up. While much of our writing is Guam-centered, the issues we raise have resonated with other Pacific Island communities undergoing similar challenges as well as with virtual readers in other regions. Our columns, Cho'cho' Saina and Dr. B Speaks, are culturally grounded and based on social science perspectives. In responding to the recommendation that our columns be made available in book format, several major themes emerged. The second collection in this series, CHamoru Heritage, Identity and Language Revitalization, features columns about the taotao tåno' or indigenous people of Guam. We examine how colonization, Americanization and globalization have impacted the CHamoru heritage, identity and language. The values, traditional practices and indigenous mata of Guam's First People are celebrated and promoted as essential for continuity of peoplehood. Best practices for the recovery, revitalization and preservation of language as the umbilical cord to culture are harvested from the rich literature of the world's First Peoples.
