The Division of Humanities, College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and the University of Guam’s Chamorro Studies Program cordially invite the UOG and Guam community to Puengen Minagof Nochebuena, an evening of Chamorro cultural festivities connected to the holiday season. The celebration will take place on Friday, December 2, 2016 from 6 pm – 8 pm in the UOG CLASS Lecture Hall.

The theme for this year’s Puengen Minagof Nochebuena is “Tiempon Krismas: Silibrasion i Estoria-ta gi Uriyå-ta” or “Holiday Season: Christmas Celebrations from Around the World.” The evening will include singing, bilen-making, the praying of a nobena and plenty of fina’mames (sweets). CHamoru language students will be making traditional Chamorro Christmas desserts such as boñelos dågu, but also offering a wide variety of boñelos options, including boñelos mangga, boñelos lemmai, boñelos aga’ and others. A Christmas skit featuring a live bilen is also planned, reminding us about the real spirit of this season. 

Please join the students on this evening and help them show off our CHamoru language skills and cultural knowledge, and to usher in the 2016 holiday season. For more information please contact: Michael Lujan Bevacqua at mbevacqua@triton.uog.edu or via telephone at (671) 988-7106.
