Brothers and sisters in the Mariana Islands, larger Pacific region and even Turtle Island came to Guam to make waves.

From sharing demands for action in local and international indigenous climate space to calls for peace, the "Making Waves" summit started with a ceremony to ground participants in their ancestral knowledge and traditions.

"Our culture sculpted by the land and the water…. Oppression..," one participant shared with the audience. "Won’t take it much longer."

For peace and justice for all people for the healing of the planet," Dakota Camacho said. "This is what we need."

The peace and climate justice summit was hosted by the Micronesia Climate Change Alliance in partnership with the Tishman Environment and Design Center at the new school.

Micronesia Climate Change Alliance Director Cami Diaz Egurrola told KUAM News, “For environmental justice leaders in the region and the Marianas–in the greater Pacific region, we have invited them here today to share in ceremony and to share their knowledge and their ancestral knowledge, to gather these leaders to make unified decisions against the U.S. military and to make decisions for our greater pacific region.”

And after the summit, participants gathered for the amut walk at Fort Apugan on Saturday morning hosted by sacred healer Mama Lou.

"Four women from the Mariana islands, myself, Sheila Babauta, Moñeka De Oro, Jasmine Flores-Cantrell, we have organized an amut walk through the Marianas which will be taking place in Guahan. It already happened in Saipan, Tinian and Luta," Egurrola said. The walk a prayer for peace and a statement to standing together in global solidarity.
