On the island of Tinian in the Northern Mariana Islands, one ancient latte stone still stands—fifteen feet of coral limestone raised centuries ago.

In this episode, we revisit the CHamoru legend of Chief Tåga, the Måga’låhi said to have built twelve towering pillars without steel, without machines, and without surrendering his people’s connection to the land.

This is a story of strength, fear, balance, and endurance.

The pillars fell.
One remains.

And in its shade, so do we.
