Guam's Journey to Digital Inafa'maolek

Guam's Office of Infrastructure Policy and Development (OIPD) has released its draft Digital Equity Plan. In the vastness of the Pacific Ocean, the island of Guam, an unincorporated territory of the United States, emerges as a testament to resilience, unity, and evolution. Its history is a rich tapestry of cultures, forged by the perseverance of its indigenous people and the influences of various settlers and conquerors throughout the millennia. The journey of Guam has been one of transformation. The essence of the island remains in the spirit of Inafa’maolek, a concept of the indigenous CHamoru people of restoring harmony and balance, promoting mutual respect and working collaboratively for the common good. In Inafa'maolek lies Guam's vision for digital equity.
