Preserve and Protect Pågat

This petition was published by Guam Preservation Trust on May 04, 2010

We, the undersigned, respectfully call on President of the United States, Barack Obama, as Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces, to abandon plans to construct a new firing range complex on the bluff above Pågat, a traditional cultural property on Guam, and consider alternative locations.

Pågat is an ancient Chamorro village site, which continues to play a meaningful role in the cultural practice of the Chamorro people. The firing ranges would necessitate significant new limitations in access to the site, bring new security fencing and personnel to the area, and have the potential to cause direct physical harm to the irreplaceable resources at Pågat.

We call on President Obama to respect Guam’s unique cultural heritage and reconsider the proposed firing range location.
