<p>This summer, Kutturan CHamoru Foundation&#39;s 10th Ta Fan Aptte CHamoru Immersion Camp proudly partners with artists from Gi Matan Guam to present a powerful series of five cultural workshops rooted in Indigenous presentation methodology. Participants will engage in a deep dive into Gi Matan Guam method that centers cultural memory, ancestral connection, and storytelling through movement, sound, and language. The camp will culminate in a Community Activation at Homeland Cultural Center in Long Beach, CA, where students will share and embody what they&#39;ve learned in a live performance, celebrating CHamoru identity, acknowledgment, and creativity.</p>
