Guam: Indigenous people resist US military

from The Sound of Solidarity · host solidarity.net.au

The island of Guam has been dubbed the US’s “unsinkable aircraft carrier”. Its size and strategic location in the west Pacific gives it great value to US war plans. The military owns one third of the land, demolishes sacred sites and pollutes the environment. But Indigenous people are resisting. We talk to Maria Hernandez, an Indigenous Chamoru environmental, women's and cultural rights activist, about the fightback.
