本研究以美国殖民主义、领土关系和美国化背景下的土著身份意识为例，探讨关岛查莫罗人身份认同的基本维度。尽管殖民化和美国化压力的不利影响，人种学研究结果表明，查莫罗人在参照群体相互作用、政治意识、文化态度和自我认同方面意识到他们的土著身份。本文还讨论了这些初步发现对这一尚未充分研究的主题和人口的未来研究的意义。
This study explores baseline dimensions of identity among Chamorros in Guam, as a case in point of indigenous identity consciousness, in the context of U.S. colonialism, territorial relations, and Americanization. Despite the adverse effects of colonization and Americanization pressures, ethnographic findings suggest that Chamorros, are conscious of their indigenous identity with respect to reference-group interaction, political awareness, cultural attitudes, and self-identification. Implications of these preliminary findings for future research on this understudied topic and population are discussed.
