2024 CHamoru Symposium Video Recordings
- Details
- Written by: Bernard Punzalan
Unfortunately we experienced several challenges on audio video recording. I ran the livestream through Zoom to FaceBook live. Apparently, Facebook has a maximum recording time of eight hours. Many lessons learned so I hope the next symposiums will be much more successful.

Opening day of 2016 FestPac on Guåhan at the Canoe Ceremonies
Malia was a very hard person to contact via email. It took me a while to contact to her when I first asked her to be a guest speaker at one of my genealogy workshops for FestPac in 2016. I was so elated when she agreed. After all, she really did not know me so I’m pretty certain about me she had her reservations. But when it comes to CHamoru genealogy she would never refuse!
