Pacific News Member of Micronesia About the Country People The whole of Micronesia has less than 200,000 people. They are a multi-cultural population of Filipinos, Caucasians, Chinese and native Chamorros, the Chamorros being the largest group. An ancient sea-faring race, the Chamorros are related to the Polynesians and believed to have arrived in about 2,000 BC from Indonesia and Malaysia. Today, English is the official language, though Japanese is widely spoken and local dialects are based on Chamorro. History The great Spanish sailor Ferdinand Magellan sailed through the Micronesian islands in his world circumnavigation in 1521. He was followed by whalers and Spanish missionaries in the 1600s. Four colonial powers have used them as provision ports on trade routes between continents and at the end of World War 2, the USA took over their administration. Nature The Micronesian islands vary in size, appearance and topography. The inhabited parts vary from villages with no cars or electricity, to the sophisticated resorts of Guam and Saipan.

In the book, Blood on their Banner: Nationalist Struggles in the South Pacific , David Robie writes, the more than 2000 islands of Micronesia have played a vital role in modern strategic history. Japanese aircraft launched their attack on Peal Harbor from Micronesia, plunging the United States into the Second World War. And it was from Tinian Island in western Micronesia that the Enola Gay took off with its deadly weapons for the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki which ended the war and ushered in the nuclear age. The islands of Micronesia have been used by Washington ever since as pawns to enhance its strategic posture (Robie, ibid, p.142).

The people of Yap are warm and friendly but little shy. Women are requested to refrain from wearing "short shorts" or swim suites in town and to keep their thighs covered. Keep in mind that all property in Yap is privately owned and you should ask permission to enter a village or enjoy one of the secluded beaches. Your hotel can arrange land tours, snorkeling, kayaking or other activities and should provide a guide to accompany you. The History of Yap Anthropological theories suggest that Yap was settled over 3,500 years ago by seagoing voyagers migrating eastward in primitive log like canoes from either Indonesia or the Philippines. The ancient Yapese empire was a large, powerful and highly organized society. At the empires peak, the central islands of Wa'ab may have had a population of more than 50,000. Huge meeting houses, stone amphitheaters and Men's Houses dotted the shorelines. Inland majestic family houses sat atop raised stone platforms called "dayif," and their thatched peak roofs jutted out between coconut palms over an intricate winding network of stone paths.
