Letter From America Wednesday, 1 April, 1998, 12:22 GMT 13:22 UK A United States senate committee has been hearing accounts of extensive abuses of the rights of foreign workers in a US Pacific territory, the Northern Mariana Islands. Workers from across Asia are drawn to the Marianas by recruitment agents promising lucrative wages and opportunities to become American citizens. But the US Interior Secretary, Bruce Babbitt, told the senate committee that numbers of foreign workers were being forced into slave labour and prostitution. He called for an end to the territory's special exemption from normal US wage and immigration laws. The islands' administrators insist they're rooting out abuses.

Typhoon Pongsona directly hit two villages and a U.S. Air Force base in northern Guam on Sunday afternoon, felled scores of telephone and power lines, and forced the evacuation of patients after structural damage to hospital buildings. At the height of the storm, three Exxon Mobil Corp fuel storage tanks caught fire, witnesses said. One tank was still ablaze on Monday but no one had been injured in the area. "Pongsona is much greater in intensity and duration," Governor Carl Gutierrez was quoted as saying on the Web site of the Pacific Daily News newspaper, comparing it to Typhoon Chata'an, which hit Guam in July. "There is no doubt that the impact of this latest storm will be devastating." Pongsona had now moved north into the Pacific Ocean. It was expected to swing to the northeast in the next 24 hours on a course toward the Japanese island of Iwo Jima, the weather office said.

The area includes three major archipelagoes: the Marshalls, Carolines, and Marianas. (Culturally, Micronesia includes Kiribati and Nauru, but the separate political history of these countries excludes them from the archives discussed here.) Having passed through colonial rule by the Spanish, Germans, and Japanese, the islands of Micronesia became a United States administered United Nations strategic trusteeship following World War II. This new arrangement was named the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI). Initially under Navy control, the islands were transferred to the U.S. Dept. of the Interior in 1951. Administrative headquarters, originally in Honolulu, moved to Guam, and finally to Saipan. For administrative purpose, the TTPI divided the islands of Micronesia into six districts based on earlier colonial precedent: the Marshalls, Ponape, Truk, Marianas, Yap, and Palau, with the later addition of Kosrae.

Extractions: Tradition has long played a major role in the lives of Chamorros, the people of the Mariana Islands. This includes rituals associated with the preparation of herbal medicines and cures administered by "patteras" and "suruhanas" (local doctors), whose methods of treatment have been practiced for centuries. Superstition also plays an important role, especially when dealing with the supernatural and unexplainable occurrences. It is customary to show respect for the elderly, toward one's neighbors, and for the "taotaomona" (ancestral spirits) and "duhendes" (elfish spirits). Legends are also a part of the cultural heritage of the Chamorros. Language The name "Chamorro" was given to the language and people of the Mariana Islands by the Spanish. Chamorro is a member of the linguistic family of languages known as Austronesian, which is spoken from Madagascar to the Micronesian Islands to Easter Island in the farthest corner of Polynesia. Education The educational system is similar to that of the continental U.S., with all high schools and colleges accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Education is a high priority for Chamorro parents and is considered the key to success in many Chamorro homes. By law, children between the ages of 5 and 16 are required to attend school.

Extractions: American Samoa American Samoa , a group of islands in the mid-South Pacific, is located about 2,300 miles from Honolulu. American Samoa has a land area of 76 square miles and approximately 57,291 residents (est. 2000, U.S. Census Bureau), most of whom live on Tutuila. Since American Samoa is an unincorporated territory of the U.S., its people are U.S. nationals who freely enter the U.S. An estimated 65,000 Samoans have migrated to the West Coast and some 20,000 live in Hawaii. The territory has an important tuna processing industry, and its capital, Pago Pago, has a great natural harbor with dry dock and port facilities. The local government is the biggest employer in American Samoa. Culture The Samoan culture is strong and intact. The Fa'asamoa (Samoan way of life) is centered on the "aiga" (family), which consists of the immediate family and extended family members (maternal and paternal) such as grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins. The family name holds special value in the hearts of Samoans and every opportunity is taken to keep that name in good standing within the community. The "matai" (chief) is the head of the family and has the final say on decisions that are made for the family and their land. Land in American Samoa is communally owned; therefore, it is up to the matai of the family to distribute the land among family members. Community hospitality is ingrained into the Samoan way of life with families commonly inviting guests into their homes.

Technical, programmatic and enforcement activities are implemented for the ASEQC by the American Samoa Environmental Protection Agency (ASEPA). ASEPA maintains programs in water quality, drinking water, air quality, pesticides, solid waste, hazardous materials and waste, and public education. The agency and commission are under the Office of the Governor. For the past two years, ASEPA has also been the recipient of an Americorps grant and oversees the training and placement of 20 participants. The ASEPA is directed by Togipa (Tony) Tausaga, who oversees an ASEPA staff of about 20, including a former EPA Region 9 staff (Sheila Wiegman), who is presently on detail to ASEPA from the U.S. Geological Survey. ASEPA is the recipient of an annual EPA Consolidated Environmental Program grant (FY 98 budget is $1.6 million). A local budget of $85,000 is provided to support clean-up activities of Pago Pago Harbor. A continuing problem at ASEPA is the hiring and retainment of qualified staff. ASEPA, with the assistance of PIO, is in the processing of placing two IPA's with ASEPA this summer, to assist them with their water quality and underground storage tanks program.
