    I was the first micronesian Mwaokilloa/Pohnpei in Austin High school MN back in 2000. Now there's a bunch including my family still there. And then I thought I'd be the only Micronesian here in Mason City IA, now there is a bunch more.... I dont really communicate with them due to the fact that I'm accustomed to the north Iowa life. But I still stop and talk when I see one. Big shout out to you all keeping it real up there in a dinky little midwest town.

    I was looking at something else on You tube when I came upon this story by accident. I am Micronesian myself. Pohnpei is my Island. I've spent most of my life in Hawaii and other states and have been in Minnesota several times but never did I think that there would be a community of Micronesians living there. What a wonderful surprise. I'm absolutely blown away. My grandfather is from the Mortlock Islands, by the way. So ran anlim ngeni ami menisin. I hope I said that correctly. I'd like to congradulate the two men who made the video. Great job and very well done. Aloha to you all.

    Such an interesting video! I'm from Uman, Chuuk but I reside in Washington. It's great to see others doing so well :) I hope this continues on! But I agree that the title is a bit misleading, and should be more specific. There are numerous cultures within Micronesia, and this one is about the Chuukese people. Great video though!!

    This is more about the culture of Chuukese.
    They're from the Caroline islands which are the Federated States of Micronesia in the REGION of Micronesia which include Guam, Palau, Marshall islands, Kiribati, etc.
    Micronesians are Chuukese, Yapese, Pohnpeian, Kosraean, Marshallese, Kiribati, Nauruan, Chamorro, Palauan, etc. when put together....
    But these are just Chuukese.
    Nice video :)

      When Micronesia (the cultural/geographic region) sends their people to the U.S., they don't send their best. They send blue-collar losers who live off of welfare, not affluent smart people.

    This is very interesting and a beautiful story of Micronesian living in the Mainland. I just have to say that they should have titled it Micronesians: Chuukese Life in America or something like that. I say that because not all Micronesians are male dominated. Palau, Marshall and Guam are matriarchal societies and have been for centuries. I think it's imperative that people, especially here in the mainland who don't have a lot of exposure to micronesians, know that Micronesia is not one culture but many. And not all are the same. There are similarities, yes. But not all Micronesian women prefer to be stay at home mom's. Most Palauan women prefer to go out and work. Growing up on the island I remember a lot of women owning businesses, including my mom. Based on my 17 years of life at home in Palau and almost 11 years of on and off reading and research about my culture, I wouldn't say Palau is a female dominated culture. We are matriarchal and women do love to work - do assume and take on a lot roles and responsibilities. But not female dominated, no. Men and women work alongside each other both outside and within the home.
    So as much as this is a beautiful story it doesn't speak for all micronesains.

      Chiefs in pre-contact Marianas consisted of both brother and sister, children of a Maga'håga (Female chief). Considering how Chamorros and Palauans both came directly from the Philippines/Indonesia, it's not too suprising to learn that we both had that same gender equity

    Oh yes. One more thing. Great title. It's the spirit that counts. Plus, when your doing a video and post it in a place like RUclips, you want maximum coverage and that means using a name that is more familiar to attract more viewers. So Micronesia is the way to go in this instance. Just my opinion.
