Nestled on nine green acres overlooking Tumon Bay, the Sagan Kotturan CHamoru, or Chamorro Cultural Center, is a community-based art and cultural center that is focused on promoting, preserving and perpetuating the Chamorro culture.
Sagan Kotturan CHamoru comprises eight houses, each one dedicated to one of the diverse and unique identifiers of Chamorro culture such as carving, weaving, dancing, chanting, and more. The center is wholly driven by local artisans and community members who share a deep understanding of the importance of preserving the Chamorro language and cultural heritage and provides various educational and cultural programming for island residents and visitors.
Under the guidance of local artisans, visitors can learn basic Chamorro weaving skills, cultural dancing and chanting, and observe live demonstrations of carving, painting, and other arts. Other center activities include apprenticeship programs, cultural events, hikes, featured artisan exhibits, educational workshops, tour visitations, arts and crafts sales and visiting cultural communities. The center also features a small museum that houses fascinating artifacts that date back thousands of years.
The Cultural Center is opened on Friday-Sunday from 11:00am - 6:00pm. The cache is hidden outside of the Center and is available 24/7.
