As you know, I'm actively involved in my research of coconut weaving. I'm still working on my research draft, but I wanted to share with you the additional information I discovered, which is the Guam historical pictures of thatched homes created with coconut leaves. It should be noted that the source of the historical pictures titled, "Hale'-ta, I Ma Gobetna-na Guam, Governing Guam: Before and After the Wars" was commisioned by the Political Status Education Coordinating Commission. This Commission was established by Public Law 20-99 and mandated to develop a curriculum of political status studies for Guam schools. The Commission is composed of seven members, including three representatives from the Guam Department of Education, a representative each from the University of Guam, Guam Community College, and Commission on Self-Determination, and a representative of the Community At Large.
Enjoy the following historical pictures I discovered as part of my research on coconut weaving.
