Millennials voice concerns about proposal to amend Article 12

Among them were 20-year-old Trini Iguel and 28-year-old Keoni Hosono.
“From my understanding, Article 12 was put in place to protect our people, but according to [SLI 22-1], the initial reasons supporting the establishment of Article 12 are no longer consistent with the needs of the Commonwealth and its people,” said Iguel.
“Will there ever be a time when our people will not need protection? No. Our people have suffered through 500 years of colonialism. This has decimated much of our language, our culture, and our heritage. At this point, the only true connection that we have to our identity as Chamorros and Carolinians is the land.”
