Red Rice & Fina'denne'

On Tinian, one ancient latte stone still stands, fifteen feet of coral limestone raised centuries ago.

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. Strength, fear, balance, endurance. The pillars fell. One remains.
