Ininan Marianas Inc

Ininan Marianas, meaning “Shine the Light on the Marianas,” became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in San Antonio, TX, on June 6, 2023.

As a tuition-free organization, we are dedicated to preserving the Chamoru culture through song, dance, beliefs, and knowledge. We proudly serve as a home away from home for the diaspora and Chamoru practitioners from the Mariana Islands, including Saipan, Tinian, Rota, and Guam.

Our mission is to educate the Chamoru people and the broader public in the preservation of our native language, heritage, and culture.

We strive to perpetuate, promote, and safeguard the Chamoru heritage, culture, language, education, arts, humanities, and history while fostering Chamoru cultural awareness through programs, support services, activities, and education.
