Rapid Ethnographic Assessment Project: Asan Beach and Agat Beach Units

The Rapid Ethnographic Assessment Project (REAP) for the Asan Beach and Agat Beach units of War in the Pacific National Historical Park documented the mythic landscape, traditional practices, and ethnographic resources of the CHamoru and other traditionally associated people. It included interviews with eight individuals and incorporated existing archival and published information relevant to summarizing traditional cultural practices and cultural resources within the Asan and Agat units of the park.

The project was completed in 2021 as part of the scoping for development of Unit Management Plans for the Asan and Agat units of War in the Pacific National Historical Park. The report is organized in three volumes. Volume I contains the report including the purpose of the study, methodology, environmental and historical background of the areas, and historical and cultural resources based on the archival and oral historical research. It also includes maps and notes on CHamoru spelling of place names. Volumes IIa and IIb contain transcripts of the oral interviews.
