Title
Gef Pa'go Chamorro Cultural Village - Guam Cultural Village
Description
Gef Pa’go Chamorro Cultural village is a living museum of thatched huts and traditionally-constructed buildings along Inarajan Bay. The tours include visits into the Inarajan Historic District, featuring homes that were built in the early 1900s.
Gef Pa’go is a registered non-profit organization founded by residents of Inarajan. Our mission is to provide a showcase of Chamorro culture for our visitors and to provide hands-on educational experiences for our youth to learn about their heritage. We portray the historic period of 1900 to 1940. We employ elders who grew up in this era and can tell stories about their younger lives. We also employ younger residents who are learning from these elders and are passing this knowledge to the next generation. Gef Pa’go is an ancient Chamorro word meaning “beautiful”. It has since been replaced with the Spanish word, “bunitu”.
We proudly produce and sell products through our gift shop, such as sea salt, coconut candy, coconut oil, carvings, and woven items. We are expanding to offer more traditional Chamorro packaged foods, such as cookies, bread, titiyas, katupat (rice lunch bags) and other cultural treats.
