Our results are presented via two main reports. The community report provides results for the target respondents of the survey, who met three primary criteria: (1) identify as “Chamorro” or other related terms; (2) are age 18 or above; and (3) are full-time residents of Guåhan at the time of the survey. The diaspora report provides results for respondents who met the first two criteria, but who are not necessarily full-time residents of Guåhan. It was created to honor the diasporic, global nature of the Chamorro community, and to respect the desire for diasporic Chamorros to be part of this conversation.
Disclaimer: The 2021 Guåhan Survey does not represent an act of CHamoru self-determination. The survey represents a snapshot of those who self-selected into the study during the time period July 2021-August 2021. Any findings from this study do not generalize to the preferences of the CHamoru people or how they envision CHamoru self-determination.
