Supporting the designation of March as National CHamoru Heritage and Culture Month.

House Resolution 1097 is a measure that expresses official congressional support for designating March as National CHamoru Heritage and Culture Month. The resolution seeks to honor the history, achievements, and cultural contributions of the CHamoru people, who are the indigenous inhabitants of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.

For the general public, this resolution serves as a formal recognition of CHamoru heritage rather than a change to federal law or a mandate for government spending. It encourages citizens across the United States to observe the month through educational activities and ceremonies that celebrate the unique identity and traditions of the CHamoru community.
