ESTORIAN INALAHAN: History Of A Spanish-Era Village In Guam
Estorian can mean both history and story, and this book is both. Inalahan is one of the rare Guam villages that has maintained the feel of the Spanish era, and reminders of Guam’s more ancient past. Learn Inalahan history which will relate to the experience of anyone who has been a part of the Chamorro community.

What people are saying:
“Although there are other history writings of Guam that I have read before, I have not come across anything so comprehensive such as this when detailing the lives of how people live and the events that had taken place
on a specific village or location. Writing about Inalajan at this time when our culture is in dire need of rehabilitation could not be any sweeter than this.”
Rick Meno, Member of Historic Inalahan Foundation, Inc. Board of Directors
“ESTORIAN INALAHAN is a stellar contribution to the histories of Guåhan from Dr. Judy Flores’ unique outsider (lagu) and insider (haya) cultural perspectives.”
Dr. Lawrence J. Cunningham, retired History of Guam professor and author of Ancient Chamorro Society.
“Dr. Judith Selk Flores brings to this project superb research skills, an interdisciplinary approach, and dedication to both Inalahan and Guam,resulting in a work that will be appreciated by enthusiasts of Marianas history and Chamorro culture. Her coverage of pre-colonial history leading up to the Spanish-era is quite extensive, and provides added value to the book. I hope that Estorian Inalahan: History of a Spanish-Era Village in Guam will inspire others to share their village histories in similar fashion.”
Dr. Anne Perez Hattori, Professor, Pacific History, University of Guam

Since the early days of my acquiantance with Dr. Flores, I realized her love for Guam and especially the village of Inalahan. At a very fast pace, she learned to fluently speak Chamorro Language, adopted the culture, and built her knowleldge on everything island style.
I congratulate her on her book.
Thanks Chu’ for your kind comments. I hope you enjoy my book. I put in stories of the Naputi clan, particularly the ones I heard from my mother-in-law, Tona’ Apu.
Dear Dr. Flores:
In 1991/92, you were at Jeff’s Pirates Cove selling some of your art. I bought an original batik – a house with a deck – pink was predominant I believe. Do you still have any prints left for sale from that piece?
I gave it to a friend who passed away last month – we were both on Guam – and even though I didn’t inherit the original, I am thinking I would like to have its print. I also have The Chocolate House print and a street/house view of Inarajan (print). I would love to have an original again though. I miss Guam. I enjoyed my year there. My son was 7 that year. It holds nice memories for him, too. terri
