🌴📺 DON’T MISS THE RELEASE OF THE NORTHERN MARIANAS HUMANITIES COUNCIL'S NEWEST CHILDREN’S SHOW, ISLAND TIME, APPEARING ON THEIR YOUTUBE CHANNEL ON JULY 20, 2023! 📅🎉 Island Time, "Inventions," is an episode of a children's show that introduces the Chamorro language and celebrates the Chamorro culture with the help of Chamorro actors, local music, animations, and wacky puppets. This production by the Northern Marianas Humanities Council is aimed at audiences of all ages and ethnicities, with a special focus on engaging Chamorro youth living in the Marianas and across the diaspora. The series revolves around Fu’una, a young Chamorro woman residing on the island of Saipan, who embarks on a quest to explore her cultural roots. In the episode "Inventions," Fu’una's strict yet loving Chamorro grandmother, Nåna, is about to embark on a motorcycle road trip across the United States. Before leaving, Nåna teaches Fu’una how to care for her house, including looking after her pet ayuyu (coconut crab) and chiba (goat). To Fu’una's surprise, once Nåna is gone, the pets transform from live-action animals to Chamorro-speaking puppets. These puppets engage in various activities such as building robots, holding public office, and singing songs, expecting Fu’una to keep up. Immersed in a new home filled with Chamorro culture, language, and history, Fu’una embarks on a journey to reconnect with her indigenous identity. Island Time addresses the challenges of growing up in the digital age, emphasizing the significance of Chamorro culture and identity. By witnessing Fu’una's adventures, mistakes, and triumphs, viewers are provided with an inspiring example of how to navigate their personal and cultural identities in a globalized world. For instance, in the episode "Inventions," the show demonstrates how modern creativity can authentically represent a 4,000-year-old culture, showcasing that the old traditions are still alive.
