SHARE YOUR MEMORY

Your Story Deserves To Be Remembered.

Every voice. Every memory. Every family. This is how history is truly preserved.

Whether you worked on Saipan, Tinian, or Rota — whether you came from the Philippines, China, Bangladesh, or anywhere else — your experience is a piece of history that must not be lost.

This form takes only a few minutes. You may share as much or as little as you are comfortable with. Photographs are encouraged so that the faces of the forgotten builders of the CNMI can be unforgotten.

Thank you for trusting us with your story.

Please share your story below in as much detail as you’re comfortable providing. Tell us who you are, how you came to the CNMI, the work you did, how long you lived there, and the experiences that shaped your time on the islands—including any mistreatment you faced. If you have since left, tell us when and why, what leaving was like, where life took you, and what you are doing today.

If you are not one of the forgotten builders of the CNMI yourself, but are connected to them somehow and want to tell us your story, please feel free to share it with us too!
