The Ancient Chamori Royal Wedding Ceremony
"A Pictorial Essay"   By:  Lynn Cruz

The ancient Chamoris or Taotaomo'nas believed in the sacred and heavenly union between a woman and a man. They called the Ancient Chamori Royal Wedding Ceremony, Hacha'gua, meaning to be ONE or to become ONE.  As one of the only surviving matriarchal societies in the world, the Taotao Tano' of Guahan, Luta, Tini'an and Sai'pan capture the true meaning and symbolism of ancient class royalty and womanhood
in the perpetuation of their unique wedding system....Hacha'gua.
