Ancient remains to be shipped off-island

THE ancient remains excavated from a development site in a Tumon beach property will be sent off-island for analysis, according to the Guam State Historic Preservation Office’s draft plan, which is being protested by cultural activist and former senator Hope Cristobal.
Cristobal also questioned the propriety of reaching a plan with the possible involvement of a preservation official who is also the representative architect of the project developer, Gun Beach Development.
According to the plan, the remains will be packaged in cardboard shipping containers or plastic containers that will be marked “fragile.”
The tentative method of transport is to escort the remains by an individual approved by HPO.
“When it is deemed acceptable to transport through other means than escorting, the remains will be sent via registered mail through the U.S. Postal Service,” the plan stated.
At least 280 remains were dug up from an ancient burial site in a privately owned beach property in Tumon, the site of Okura Hotel’s $30 million development project.
PHRI Western Pacific Division, the archeological company commissioned by Okura Hotel, originally planned to ship the remains for off-island study in August. PHRI, however, quickly dropped the plan following protest by Cristobal’s group.
HPO revived the plan during the Historic Preservation Review Board’s meeting on Dec. 17.
The skeletal fragments will be shipped out in batches consisting of 25 remains per shipment. Subsequent shipments will follow when the previous batch returns to Guam following completion of analysis.
“A waiver to exceed this number will be considered if the total amount is extremely high or the analytical process is projected to exceed five years,” according to the draft plan, which HPO manager Patrick Lujan sent out via e-mail to board members.
“The contracted archaeological firm sending the remains off-island shall take full financial and legal responsibility for the safe return of the remains,” the plan stated.
The preservation board determined that sending fragmentary remains off-island could shorten the research timeframe and expedite the reburial process or gain information by specialized studies.
Results of the skeletal remains analysis will be forwarded to a qualified osteologist according to the standards and guidelines set by the Department of the Interior.
Cristobal, meanwhile, lambasted the Historic Preservation Review Board for drafting a policy that she said will benefit Mike Makio, Gun Beach Development’s architect who is also the chairman of the board.
“Obviously, a conflict of interest is being set up before the actual voting happens at the board meeting where Mr. Makio will publicly recuse himself, making it appear that he is not in conflict,” Cristobal said.
“Policies are paving the way for Gun Beach Development and its representatives to complete the final assault on our Chamorro ancestors in Tumon,” she added.
Cristobal also lambasted the board for allegedly shutting off the public from the policymaking decision.
“I believe the Historic Preservation Review Board should announce their board meetings so the public can be allowed to attend and inform themselves of policies being created for the public’s good,” Cristobal said.
She said the board’s plan will pave the way for other developers to “destroy whole cemeteries by digging them out; rather than redesign the encroaching hotel on the ancestral cemeteries.”
Cristobal also criticized territorial archaeologist Vic April for putting property rights over preservation of Guam’s historical treasures.
“Preservation must go beyond Vic April’s interpretation of ‘preservation.’ It must extend whose traditional rights and common law rights. They practiced their sacred burial rituals hundreds of years ago,” she added.
Preservation officials could not be reached for comment at press time.

Okura Project Hits a Snag
Okura Hotel project hits a snag
By Mar-Vic Cagurangan
Variety News Staff
9/18/07
GUAM Okura Hotel’s $30 million grand expansion project has been suspended due to funding shortage, according to one of the vendors who have been owed hundreds of thousands for supplies and materials.
Clayton Duvall, manager of the Quality Swimming Pools, said all work on the project came to a halt on Sept. 6 because “no money is flowing in” and GC Corp., the main contractor, has been unable to pay its subcontractors and vendors.
Duvall said subcontractors and vendors have been trying to collect payments from GC Corp. for two months now but all they have received was a plea for patience and “a little more time.”
“We are being kept in the dark. We’re all sitting here holding the bag. We’re not being given substantial information as to the status of the contract and they’re not telling us when we’re going to get paid,” said Duvall, whose company is owed $125,000 for swimming pool supplies and materials.
Subcontractors and vendors were expecting to receive their payments from GC Corp., which is believed to have been provided full funding from Okura.
Duvall said the hotel owners suspect that the general contractor may have spent the fund elsewhere.
“So the bottom line is, Okura owners apparently are not ready to release any further fund to the contractors until they come to Guam and determine just what is going on,” Duvall stated in an e-mail to one of the subcontractors.
Mark L. Day, director of Guam Resorts Inc. which operates the Okura Hotel in Tumon, declined to comment. “I don’t have a hold on the situation right now to be able to comment,” Day told Variety.
Variety’s call for Myung Il Kim, GC Corp. general manager, had not been returned as of press time.
In his e-mail to Duvall, Day said Okura is “still in the process of discussion with GC Corporation.”
“It is the intention of both parties to reach an agreement with respect to the ongoing project, but a concrete means of alleviating GC’s financial issues has not been met as this time,” Day said.
Although the discussion with GC Corp. was “progressing,” Day could not tell when payments can be made, saying that “in this situation, a solution is not as rapid as one wishes it to be.”
Among the other subcontractors with collectibles are Conwood, which is owed $200,000; Hawaiian Rock, $250,000; Leed Electric $50,000; Universal AC $50,000; and Pacific Hydronics and Systems, $200,000.
No information about the status of construction workers was available as of press time. Labor investigator Roman Quinata said the Department of Labor has not received any complaint related to the Okura construction project.
The Okura Hotel expansion project, which commenced about three months ago, first hit a snag in late July when local activists called for a stop on excavations at the project site, where over 200 ancient human remains were found.
Guam Resorts Inc.’s suspended project involved the construction of what owners described as “unparalleled luxury destination resort” that would cater to “affluent” and “sophisticated” tourists.
The design includes 23 luxury villas, individual swimming pools and Jacuzzis overlooking the ocean, a wedding chapel, and restaurants that would serve international cuisine.

Okura Burials
Guam Hotel Okura Archeology Site
The Marianas Variety
8/27/07
GROWING up on Guam I have always had a sense of awareness and respect for taotaomonas. My interests in the culture of the Mariana islands led me to pursue a degree in Anthropology at UOG. Over the summer I had the wonderful opportunity to do an internship with PHRI. PHRI is the Cultural Resource Management Firm contracted to conduct the archaeological excavations at the Guam Hotel Okura.
In recent weeks the Marianas Variety on Guam has covered stories on the archaeological work being done at the site. Unfortunately, the articles and editorials featured portrayed the archaeologists in a negative light. The archaeologists were scrutinized for their treatment of the human burial remains. It was very discouraging to read unfounded or ridiculous accusations regarding their work ethic. Contrary to what was printed, I found the archaeologists, Dave DeFant and Lynn Leon Guerrero, to be very professional and experienced. The project crew is exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable. Documenting and exhuming burial remains is not easy. It is labor-intensive, tedious and time consuming. The crew was always very mindful and respectful when handling the remains. Under their guidance, I learned about the processes involved in doing proper burial excavations and what it really takes to be an archaeologist. I was impressed by the team's enthusiasm and strong work ethic. For the past year and half, PHRI has worked in the hot sun upwards of eight hours a day, almost every day of the week! Their hard work and efforts are not in vain!
The artifacts and other archaeological findings coming out of Okura are new and exciting! It will give our community an expansive amount of information about our ancestors. The articles in Marianas Variety, while negative, really served to highlight the need to address our island's lack of salient policies dealing with historic and cultural preservation. With the onset of more development on Guam, it is imperative that a new museum is built to house and display the new and existing archaeological artifacts. The cultural history of our island is rich, deep and unique, and the current state of the Guam Museum does not do that history justice.
I learned so much about the first settlers on Guam from my short time working with the team at PHRI. The recent political controversies damaged their spirits, and that is a real shame, because they are doing our island a great service. I am very grateful for the experience of working with amazing people who truly care about our culture. Un Dångkolo na Si Yu'us Ma'åse to Dave DeFant, Lynn Leon Guerrero, Russell Kanai, Tasha Iriarte and Dee Cruz! Keep up the great work!

Ancient Remains May Be Personally Transported
Ancient remains from Okura may be personally transported
by Michele Catahay, KUAM News
Thursday, August 09, 2007
The senior archeologist spearheading the Guam Hotel Okura project is looking at other options to have ancient remains get to the mainland for further analysis. Instead of sending them via registered mail, as his company, PHRI, had proposed, David Defant says there is a possibility that they may escort the remains themselves. Ancient artifacts to include 287 human remains were found on the site.
The hotel is currently spending over $30 million in renovations. Defant says remains have been sent off-island in the past, as recently as last year, via registered mail. "We had applied to ship the remains via United States Registered Mail, it has been suggested. It's an excellent suggestion that we instead escort the remains via Continental to the States and back, and that seems to be a reasonable request," he said.
Former senator and coalition leader Hope Cristobal is pushing to have projects in that area seize in order to protect the ancient burial grounds. Meanwhile, the Department of Parks and Recreation's Historical Resources Division contends that the hotel has continued to follow Guam law and has reported to them on a weekly basis.

Desecration of Chamorro Remains at Okura
Cristobal’s group seeks a stop on digging at burial site
By Mar-Vic Cagurangan
Variety News Staff
August 7, 2007
FORMER senator Hope Cristobal, president of the Coalition for the Protection of Ancient Cemeteries, has asked the Guam Preservation Review Board to order a stop on further digging at Gun Beach, where an ancient burial site has been discovered.
Cristobal asked the board to “cease all ongoing archeological activity and save to what is left of the ancestral cemetery.”
But Patrick Lujan, deputy historic preservation officer, said the existing law prohibits the government from interfering with private projects.
Guam Okura Hotel, which owns the Tumon property, is undertaking a $30 million development project on the site, where 280 ancient human remains had been dug up.
“The law that we have upholds the rights of private property owners. So we cannot just go there and stop them from whatever they are doing,” Lujan told Variety.
He said the government has no reason to stop the project because the landowner has complied with the mitigation requirements which are among the conditions under the permit issued to the property owner.
Cristobal said members of the coalition disagree with the way it is currently written as it fails “to protect ancient Chamorro remains, or acknowledge that indigenous Chamorro traditions should be recognized as legitimate cultural items for national protection.”
“Inside the legal document, however flawed, the key language which, if interpreted in a more progressive way, could function to protect ancient burial grounds from shoddy archeology and mitigation preservation, which the coalition does not count as true preservation,” Cristobal said.
“This issue is inextricably tied to our political status of dispossession,” she added.
Cristobal also asked the preservation board to stop the developer’s plan to ship the remains that had been removed from the site off-island via the U.S. Postal Service.
The coalition is also demanding that Okura Hotel redesign its project in way that would allow the burial site to remain in its original place.
The group is also calling for the creation of a Chamorro Burial Council that will serve as a community resource and advisory group that will deal with issues related to ancient burial sites.
Cristobal criticized the Historic Preservation Board for its failure to provide public information about what has been found in the development site.
But Lujan said the board didn’t make public disclosure about the discovery of the remains because “we were concerned about potential looting and further destruction of the area.”
“We rather hold information until a study is completed and released,” he added.

Okura Expansion Hits a Snag
Guam Okura expansion hits a snag

Variety News Staff
8/1/07
THE $30 million expansion of the Guam Hotel Okura has hit a snag as representatives of Chamorro activist groups asked the hotel owners to save what’s left of the ancient Chamorro cemetery being excavated at the hotel’s renovation construction site.
The groups claim that more than 280 ancestral remains have already been excavated without public notice and that the archaeological contractor, PHRI, allegedly has plans to mail these remains off-island via parcel post.
In a letter sent to Guam Resorts Inc., the owner of the hotel, former Sen. Hope A. Cristobal asked for a meeting with hotel officials to discuss the preservation plans for the cemetery and the exact number of remains that have been removed, including when they were found and where the remains are being stored.
"We feel that the whole scale removal of this Chamorro cemetery is unnecessary and disrespectful. We want people to respect the dead in our ancestral cemeteries," Cristobal said.
The Chamorro groups are also asking the Hotel Okura to discuss the effects that the hotel’s construction activities are having on the existing cemetery, as well as the hotel’s re-internment plans.
"As the organizers of the Chamoru burial commemoration ceremony in September 2006 when 18 human remains were excavated, we communicated with your representative, Mr. Mark Day, our concerns that the Pre-Latte and Latte Period Chamoru cemetery and burials located on the current hotel renovation site are being desecrated. On Friday, July 27, Mr. Mark Day confirmed that one more month of these burial diggings remain. At that point, we again requested that the whole scale removal of this ancient Chamoru cemetery from its original site cease until we could meet," Cristobal said.
The Chamorro groups claim that over 280 human remains have now been secretly excavated from their final resting places without being accorded the traditional Chamorro ceremonies given to ancestral elders.
"Furthermore, your contractor, Mr. David Defunct of PHRI, has made a public statement implying that it is now our Chamoru elders and traditional masters of ceremonies who are suspect in grave diggings and destruction. We object to Mr. Defunct’s disrespectful and blasphemous statement; one that flies in the face of the profane purposes for excavating our ancestral elders’ ceremony in the first place," Cristobal said.
The Chamorro groups also allege that the "archaeo-business" contractor plans to mail Chamorro ancestral remains off-island via parcel post.
"This is unacceptable and we consider this another in the continuum of further desecrations in this treatment of our ancestral elders by your contractor," Cristobal said.
Just as the Japanese people have great respect for their dead, Cristobal said the Chamorros also respect their dead and thus, the hotel should stop further desecrations.
The letter was also signed by graduate student Victoria-Lola M. Leon Guerrero.
The owner of the Guam Hotel Okura is investing upwards of $30 million to create the new resort, which will have 23 luxury villas with both one and two-bedroom options.
Each villa will have its own individual swimming pool or Jacuzzi overlooking the ocean. In addition, there will be 68 luxury family-type suites and 148 deluxe rooms.
When completed, hotel management said the renovated Guam Hotel Okura will create a sense of opulence and privacy, blending with Guam’s natural surroundings to offer an unparalleled luxury destination resort.
