------------------Chamorro Artistry of Weaving-------------------

Guam has a rich heritage and tradition in folk arts, such as the art of coconut-leaf and pandanus-leaf weaving. For thousands of years Chamorros have used Guam’s abundant foliage to produce useful and unique items (Anderson, 2010). Although the Chamorro artistry of weaving is not used as much anymore, attempts to revive the art is currently being done by the Gef Pago Cultural Center in Inarajan, Guam and other local artists.
