Join I Hagan Famalåo’an Guåhan Incorporated for its 10-part web series for women to examine, analyze and interpret historical roles of CHamoru women in the Marianas, sustainability practices, and health and indigenous healing practices within a humanities context.

The eighth part in the series is Na’Homlo’ with Tricia Atoigue Lizama, PhD, LCSW and Ursula Herrera on Saturday, April 24 at 10:30 a.m. CHST.

The women will discuss how the knowledge of CHamoru traditional healing and åmot have been transmitted over generations. Åmot CHamoru will be introduced and shared with 50 individuals after the webinar. Medicines such as lodigao cha, ilangilang infused coconut oil, and seeds to grow medicine at home will be explained and available for use. Free Åmot kits will be given to 50 audience members after the webinar. Audiences may attend the webinar on the IHFG Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/haganguahan/.

This project is made possible through a grant from Humanities Guåhan, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the federal CARES Act, as well as funding from the Guam Economic Development Authority (GEDA). In addition to presenting the webinar series, IHFG dedicated a portion of grant funds to offer a laptop and MiFi lending service to support women’s participation in the webinar series.
