Özet:
This thesis explores the challenging history of Guam and its Chamorro people under American colonial rule. It establishes that, though the people of Guam are called U.S. citizens and historical documents clearly show Chamorro people giving their loyalty, land, energy, and work to the establishment of a strong United States, they continue to be denied the basic rights of self-governance and political voice by the U.S. Congress that all mainland American citizens exercise. This thesis develops the historical and military story of Guam and its Chamorro people that has led to the current state of affairs, establishing that the Chamorro people have suffered -- and continue to suffer -- significant social and environmental damages under American rule. The thesis shows that Chamorro voices opposing U.S. military priorities for the island are often ignored to advance Pentagon priorities ahead of Chamorro quality of life matters, rendering Pacific Islander voices invisible. The research suggests that more can, and should be done by the U.S. Congress to recognize the historic and present-day sacrifices made by Guam's native people, and to grant them the full agency, respect, and voice of self-determination due to them as American citizens.
