It’s 3am , when I can’t sleep I decide to educate myself , I started off learning how to navigate the stars & somehow I came across this video & I’m happy I did, I never knew Micronesia existed 🇫🇲
One of life's greatest mysteries is the RUclips algorithm! I'm guessing celestial navigation led to Micronesia because in some of the islands in Micronesia, people continue to navigate by the stars.
Me too except it’s when I have to sleep, I somehow have lots of things to do on RUclips before I finally get a shut eye. Lol

I agree! RUclips is probably following God´s algorithm@@pulanspeaks ! It seems perfect. It always baffles me.
Half Micronesian half Polynesian here. Palauan and Sāmoan! Born in Tahiti and lived in Hawai’i! Now on the east coast of the USA!
Aye, I’m palauan too.
I lived in truk(chuuk)back in the early 50s and then moved to yap. I left yap in 1960. Went back regularly for a while. Then parents moved to saipan. The last time I went to micronesia was in 1973 but it was to chuck. I still have yap in my heart. My father's ashes were spread in yap. I still have my yap state flag.
What incredible life experiences. Thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you George Curtis.
So you should know yca

102 B.c Micronesian have been traveled all around the globe by sailing canoe using stars and waves current etc. and you know what else they use for communication? Thunder and lightning “yes”. they’ve been to South America and Southeast Asia. It’s because nobody wrote their expedition people these day believed in their own perspective. Micronesia is where the master of navigators are born.
I’m Filipino and we’re related to Micronesians. They’re our austronesian brothers.
Yes, we are. Salamatpo! From Pohnpei!
Much respect fellow Austronesian cousin.
Our brothers Micronesians look like Filipinos. We are one country during the Spanish East Indies.

I'm a Micronesian and and also I'm the granddaughter of that man in that video I'm really happy to know that my grandfather was a best navigator ever...proud to be his granddaughter and I always love him and miss him so much💔💔💔
Best explanation I can find so far on micronesia...I’m proud to be a micronesian from the republic of Kiribati ...thanks for the video

Doesn’t Kiribati have London ,Paris and banana all in one island ?
Hi The Hithereis ...what u mentioned are villages located in the eastern part of Kiribati. Those are villages in Christmas island known for the waters there which is Protected by PIPA. Lots of fish out there u can swim with sharks in shallow water
I am part Kiribati im a Cook Islander from Aitutaki
Kaselehlie from Pohnpei. Proud Micronesian Here. Thank you for this beautiful explanation of our islands.
Outstanding , I am from chuuk FSM ( Micronesia ) residing here at guam and I gotta say you did you study and research. Spot on everything.
I am a Micronesian, to be specific, I am a mixture of Belauan (Republic of Palau) and Chamolinian (Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands). My mother is Palauan from the island of Peleliu, ROP and my father is Chamolinian from the island of Agrigan, CNMI. I am what you call a Americanized Micronesian (Micro-American), I was born in 1980, born in Saipan, CNMI but raised in both Arai, ROP and Saipan, CNMI. I have duo citizenship status; I am both a US Citizen (the CNMI is a US territory) and a Palau Citizen and very heavily influence to American culture and patriotism while growing up. Which means, I was never fully taught the ways of both my cultures this includes speaking my native tongues. It's sad that now I am 41 yrs of age living in Saipan to this day and I am still the same. I don't practice my culture as much and speak as much. I wish I never ended like this but what can I do - I can't go back in time, all I can do is live life the best of my know how here on this tiny island I call home.
BIBA SAN KATAN NA ISLAS AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
Peleliu? My grandma was the last of the royal family buried on the highest hill in Palau , are you related to the Asanuma /Pilar family? I’m palauiin and half Chamaro
@@lbrambo5623 - To be honest, my last visit to Palau was back in 2004; have never visit since then so I don't really know. I forgot the name of my family clan but I know it starts with an "S". My mother's maiden last name (my middle name) is Olkeriil. I have three older half-siblings (half Palau and half Phonpei) from my mother's previous marriage and they carry the last name McBride. My Grandaunt married into the Temol family residing in Koror, ROP. My half-sister married into the Titiml family from the island Kayangel, ROP.
@@sofang930 awesome ! Good to chat with someone who’s lineage is similar to mine , in the high chief bai we are the sadang clan ,my grandma came to the states after the WW2 battle of peleliu, a shot down American pilot brought her here ,have a blessed one
Dang it, as a first Gen Micronesian in the states now, I think I better start teaching my kids something of their Micronesian cultures(Marshall Islands) lol

I know nothing about Micronesia until now. Now I want to go!

Sweet
A good narrative on the geography of what is Micronesia. A historical narrative from the perspective of Colonialism is needed to shed more light on the political landscapes in the region.
I from Malaysia, i hope our cousin, from Guam and Mariana Island get it independent just like Palau and Federation of Mirconesia, your culture, architecture and tradition are unique. but what is mirconesia in native language, in Malaysia-Brunei and Indonesia included Filipino we called it 'Nusantara', Nusa mean Island, other word for Pulau/Pulo for Island in Malay and Indonesia. antara mean between. so Between Islands. because we travel between those island sumatra-borneo-java-sulawesi-bali-sumba-maluku and peninsular.
Nan madol resembles Gunung Padang megalith
There is no word from Micronesia, just Micronesia. It was the white man that grouped us together as Micronesia lol. We were all seperate, but we had contact with each other. We were not united like Nusantara.
@@fredlibranza943 Not all Indonesian are Malayan, there are also Javanese which is quite different from Malays. Filipino is also a separate type of Austronesian.
In short, stop calling all Austronesian as Malayan. Malayan are only in Malaysia or those who speak Malay language. We may all Austronesian, but we are diverse and quite different from each other.
Guam is an island in the Mariana Islands.
I have been researching islands, became fascinated and still finding out if there is more. I would love to go to somewhere in the Micronesia. It looks beautiful. There is so many places in the world I wonder why not many people have thought of wanting to go to these islands, so many new cultures
Look up nan madol if you're interested in ancient ruins. It's a very interesting site in micronesia
I had been trying to understand Micronesia, and found this video to be the best analysis and summarization available on the Internet. The narrative and graphics are exceptional, so I am subscribing. Looking forward to future posts. Great job!
You might do better to try books.
Come to Hawaii and see what Micronesians are really like and how they live. In fact, live in areas where they live, I dare you.
@@JessicaZane4realzNot all of them are bad and the bad ones don’t represent all Micronesians Jessica. Quite rude and ignorant of you to say.
@@JessicaZane4realz yeah nd Hawaiian people are the most racist people among people..especially the half Asians like yourself Jessica insane 😂😂😂

Although Guam is a Territory of the US and CNMI has a Commonwealth status with the US, they too are within that which borderers Micronesia from other Pacific Is. Countries.

Love from indonesia🇮🇩🇮🇩
Amazing culture. I love learning about this. I'm moving to Hawaii and I just want to know what's MORE.
What on the other side? We're never thought anything about you guys. Not even in University. ONLY Hawaii, and is not fair.
Let me take you to paradise..😁
We have Alot of micronesians in Hawaii.
That's true. They don't really teach that much history about the Micronesian islands in the US, I think because we're more recent in their history. The first time America had anything to do with the Micronesian Islands was during World War II. Which is only about 80 years ago. But they teach a lot about Hawaii, because they had a longer history with Hawaii (like 200 years) and Hawaii was an important part to America's economy back then. The sugar plantations I believe.
@@uts4448 No it’s because majority of us are too indulged in Christianity and western ways of life.Pulan is amongst many natives of Micronesia teaching our history/culture that dates back for thousands of years.
Proud to be a micronesian all day, everyday for life (saipan )

my micronesian greetings from Ambon (Maluku), greetings brother
Best video ever. I am trying to learn about oceania and south pacific politics. And your content is top notch 👍
Teşekkür ederim! Wow I really appreciate it!
I'm from the western Caroline islands called Nomunweito Atoll
also its best u include the differences between western & eastern Micronesians.
Western Micronesians are the Chamorros frm Guam & CNMI, main island Palau & main island Yap. Eastern Micronesians are Outer island Palauans of Pulo ano, Sonsorol & Hatohobei, Outer islanders of Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, Kosrae, Marshall islanders, Gilbert islanders & Nauru excluding Kirilis islanders frm Kapingamarangi & Nukuoro because they are Polynesian outliers.
Western Micronesians can directly trace their origins frm Southeast Asia & parts of Northern Papua while Eastern Micronesians can directly trace their culture, language, lineage & clans frm Solomon islands & Fiji. if u look closely Eastern languages are quite very different frm Western Micronesian languages even though they are all Austronesian languages. also the custom of chewing bettlenut which is strongly practiced in Southeast Asia. Eastern Micronesians & the rest of Oceania dont practice that.
Thank you very much for the information! I plan to do a future video on exactly what you mentioned.
Interesting.Language wise Micronesians have their natives tongues from the Austronesian family tree and have no connection to that of Melanesians.However culturally during the great migration both Micronesians and Polynesians exchanged traditions with the Melanesians.Well as genetics(but with few people).
Papua guinea
@@smallislandenormousculture3023 That's exactly what this individual was talking about. Listed islands who were Melanesian intermixing with the Austronesian Micronesian and Polynesian are the people in the Salomon Islands, Fiji, Yap, and Palau. They speak Melanesian language, look Melanesian, but culturally and genetically mixed with the Austronesian of Micronesia and Polynesia. Languages are totally different, especially from Yap but Palau, Fiji and the Salomon islands language by now had already been influenced and mixed with the Austronesian language as well. So we can easily detect some Austronesian language influenced from these groups. Kapingamarangi and Nukuoro were last migrating groups down from Polynesia into Micronesia before this group divided up into two: Micronesia and Polynesia. Then there were the earliest contacts and interbreeding among those two Groups of Polynesia and Micronesia with the Melanesian thus resulted with these Melanesian cousins being discussed from the Salomon islands in PNG, Fiji of Polynesia, then Yap and Palau of Micronesia. Chamorros of Guam and Saipan were just like Kapingamarangi and Nukuoro as being the later arriving group, but this Chamorros came up from Indonesia and the Philipines during the European occupation to assume nativity and repopulating the islands of the Marianas and Guam by the Europeans. Due to them speak and look so similarly as the killed off Micronesian native of those islands at the time, in the eyes of the European they were just one and the same to repopulate the dying natives of the Marianas who were actually part of the Carolinian family group of Micronesia. People often think the Chamoros are the natives of Marianas but they were the earliest mixed with whatever left of the Carolinian in the Marianas who became more dominant and influencing whatever remains of the native Carolinian of Micronesia under the Spanish control to assume claim of being the native of the area. The Carolinan never stop returning and made contact with the Marianas. The late arriving Carolinian following the dying groups are now then became the foreigners in their own territory because now the Chamoro sat on the lands with their descendants of the dying Carolinian, European and their newly populating and dominant freshly migrating South East Asian ancestors from Indonesia and the Philipines to lay claim of nativity and claimed the Chamorro identity.
Smallislandenormousculture there was never a great Migration story. Every island, every clan, every village of each of every island has their own migration stories meaning one huge group of people(austronesians) did not just pick up & go.
They moved from one place to another. They moved through southeast asia & coexisted with natives that were already there. After population growth war might have broke out between visiting groups, they might have lost & had to pick up & leave again. This happened on long periods of times. Or maybe there was a difference in climate that may have caused them to move.
The islands of Chuuk alone has so many clans with so many migration history.
I am from Micronesia leaving in the United States, but I'm proud to be Micronesian🤙

Polynesian watching. Awesome information thank you
These are European definitions, Islanders know Islanders when we look each other in the eyes, we recognize Pacific features.
From Japan to Easter island, The Philippines to Hawaii, Fiji to New Zealand all of the Samoa. Guam to New Caledonia, and all therein. This is the Pacific people aka the lost children of Israel. The meanest people on the planet.

Thanks now I got it. I'm from the Visayas/mid islands of the Philippines. We're all brothers I think. Same features and islands look similar. Our ancestors were called the Pintados full of tattoos and no clothes on top. Europeans/Magellan came and changed all that. I'm trying to learn my brothers and sisters from the Pacific islands. We all share the same culture and beliefs. Hope someday I can visit the Micronesia islands.
Many micros go over to the Philippines! Most of them are from Chuuk Micronesia.
@@ZZLUCKY_SIM micros migrated through Melanesia region.
Micronesians are the group out of the Pacific Islanders that are more related to the Philippines etc
@@IceCold4132
That's what I thought. I read it somewhere that there was a chicken DNA test that was related to our chicken. Isn't that something. I can picture my Lolo sailing to your islands with chicken and pigs in his boat. Hope to visit your islands someday. I grew up in Panay island, Iloilo City. Hope you also can visit us here. Long ago there's no borders and immigration. Our ancestors probably just sail back and forth in those islands . We have one town that speaks similar to Tonga. I'll be darn. They're really great sailors of the Pacific.

banaba island no longer exists. all the inhabitants relocated to Fiji who are now citizens of Fiji but culturally Micronesians.
Faanēngaaw Narruhn Nika ummmm 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
There are about 330 permanent inhabitants on Banana even to this day. Banabans hold both Fijian and I-Kiribati citizenship. The majority (95%) of Banabans live on Rabi in Fiji. Politically Banana belongs to Kiribati however it is adminstered from Fiji by the traditional owners of the land, the Rabi Council of Leaders and Elders. The Banabans speak the I-Kiribati language and are culturally similar to the I-Kiribati people.
Not true it’s still has a functioning government under the republic of Kiribati
You're infamous for spreading stuff on here that aren't true.
Where did you get this from that they're culturally Micronesian? Lol.

What documents do I need to visit Micronesia? I am from GHANA, someone please help me know the requirements. Thanks
looking to visit Micronesia can do so without a visa.
A passport is important to be granted entry.
Passports must be valid for a 120-day period after the end of the intended visit.
An international proof of vaccination for Yellow fever, smallpox and Cholera is required.
Hope this helps🤙🤙🇫🇲
Just get a boat,and travel by star.
Proud to be a Microneisian 👍🙌
If the name “Micronesia” was formed and founded in France, why was it in English instead of French as “Petite Isle? “ Did the British have any influence for the islands to be named in their language?
Wow that’s cool I hope there ok
