Peace be forever to the four stars of Micronesia 🇫🇲 and out through sea all the way to the other lands of the states❤️🩹🙏🏻
My brother is there for asylum and residence and work in Micronesia Nhnoa threatened Iraq Do you stay in Palikir enables us capital
hey I'm From Marshall Islands and I live here at Foreston,MN . I always thought me and my cousin are the only Micronesian over here!
oh wow ur not that far. let me know if u want to link up with our Micro people here in Milan so we can work things out..
Greetings from Guam, Beautiful Story.
God Bless the Micronesian people everybody bleeds red and everybody want's to live and be happy, Give peace ah chance, love and Aloha!
Micronesians, Polynesians, Melanesians, Papuans, And Australian Aboriginals have a common theme that being they are all true Natives to different parts of Oceania
The real Indigenous Micronesian's!..I'm Samoan we our South Poly Family!
One love
What do you mean by “real indigenous,” are there fake ones?

I think they're referring to Chamorros

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.
Andrew G thank you very much we are glad that we can do things around here the best we can just to keep up who we are and respect each other thanks again.its a start and yet we are in need from every one like you guys.

That's awesome! Never heard of Milan let alone Chuukese(Micronesian) leaving and getting recognized there!
I'm Proud of you guys! I just wish the Micronesians here in Hawaii do the same. Like stand up and work hard. I'm not saying all I'm just saying. But yes I'm proud to be Micronesian 👍
Looks like a beautiful culture.
@Uspatriot219 Gainz 👈🏾 Avoid this racist "tough guy" this moron been going around every Micronesian video to spew hatred.He's a Wannabe white supremacist.He associate himself with a pathetic group in Murica that are known as the "Patriots".
@Uspatriot219 Gainz Just you know bud I've compiled all your comments.They will be shared amonsts the Micronesian Twitter community.That said continue on with your feeble attempt on bringing us down.Clearly is isn't working.More of us are flooding your precious country so make room.You can't stop all of us 😎.

@@islandguy6928, have patience with him. Please don't make it sound like we are greedy. It is their country now so we shouldn't be engaging in/with the same mentality.
@Uspatriot219 Gainz Please have patience with us.
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!!
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the video. Awesome and superb!!! I want my "aramas" to continue on with our lovely culture. Share with others, live happily, work together and learn from each other, especially your respected neighbors. Please remember our saying, it goes like this: "Ekichuu, Angechuu, me Tipechuu" It means to have one mindset, one cooperation and one heart" Kot epwe tumunukemi puan afeiochukemi.
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing this. Waiiooooooo
thanks 4 sharing,keep up the great job
The Mumus they wear are Chuukese but those Skirts are Pohnpeian/Originated in Pohnpei
Waiooo you guys are awesome!👍
i miss and love you all,,,christina miss you more
Chuukese are very nice peopple..enjoy your new home.
...thank you for helping me to understand, I come from Chickasaw Tribe, Egyptian / Chickasaw Father... always I like to understand & help when I can...
Thanks for the Video
Much Aroha from Aotearoa
Waioooooooo #purechuuk I miss Chuuk now I live in Milton, FL!!!!
I love this video😍
It would be fun to watch video footage of this family during their very first snowstorm in Minnesota.
what an intelligent comments from you Gerhard Olsen. Hope I will see you around this area. God bless you and you family.
Im a citizen of heaven stuck in this world
My grandpa was one of the first people to come to the United States
Great story, which many other growing ethnic groups around the state could probably relate. I would like to see more communities throughout the state work-together to help one another out.
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 :)
MicronesianJams acactipnmovies
Sure is... im kiribatian in uk
There's Alot Of Marshallese in Arkansas Population of Marshallese currency of Marshallese in Arkansas is 23,000
Bonjo Maddison Wonne true that, I see a lot of y'all there and they released a population map and marshallese have a huge one in Springdale
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.
their so beautiful
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.
iRiE Salvador thank you and you are right,appreciate that we respect all the advice and comments thanks again please keep in touch we love you all
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
@@yeetfeet731 all of Micronesia had the same gender equity even in Pohnpei it was women who held the most power back then.
Very awesome :)
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 TH-cam, 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.
Waioooo ai tong ngni ami meinisin 💯% very lovely story 💝💝
i lived in fairland oklahoma,,same size as milan and ramonum,,,,living in the small places,,,realy help our kids in their future,,
There's Marshallese Communities in Enid,OK and OKC, and a Pohnpeian Community too in OKC and a Chuukese Community in Midwest City OK :)
The marshallese community is growing fast
Theres Marshallese community here in Tulsa Oklahoma including the chuukese
I'm in love😍 who's that girl with
te lavalava talking about her culture dress? ❤😍
I see some of my relatives
Milan wait for me, I'm going there, Lol Y'all Great btw...Nice Video 💖
I'd say basketball is the most popular sport! I'm Yapese btw. Enjoyed the video!🤙
Oh ask your island home native to record your native dances & songs on video to maintain your cultur. To your US Chuck natives to continue your beautiful native curtail singing & dancing. The American citizens would live to. See your native cultural singing & dancing that’s very feastival celebration 🎉✨🏝
Waioooooo... me kan ai kei aramas aaa...
Shout out to my girl daisy for showing me this video❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great story. Although, It should be made clear that Micronesia is made up made of many different people and cultures. Saying Micronesian is exactly the same as saying Asian or European.
Can we get an update?
Thanks, we'll consider an update.
I'm Filipino, and Native American mixed of both European and African roots , but people swear I'm Samoan, Fijian, or Tongan so my whole life I've been with my Samoan brothers, I have my beautiful Samoan wife and we have 2 girls and 2 baby boys. My in laws are in disbelief when I tell them that I'm not Samoan, because they swear I'm Samoan based on my appearance.
melanesian not arab
I only thought we, Micronesian was here for one reason. But now we want to stay?
apwan nemenii masowan meinisin 🙏⛪⛺⛪

I have free visa to come there 🤷🏾

😅
they looks like native filipino and native in central america...
No they do not… most of them are a mixture of Melanesian and Polynesian
And Japanese since during WW2 a lot of the indigenous women were raped by the Japanese soldiers
Filipinos do have a common ancestor with the Polynesians and Micronesians thou.. but that was 2 thousand yrs ago before the separation throughout the pacific occurred. So right NOW the two categories poly & micro are distantly different from the Filipinos..
It's not "My lan" it's "Meh Lahn" like Milan, Italy...
I wish we were in Italy! Here in Minnesota, this lovely little town is pronounced MY-lin
@@PioneerPBS Founded and named after Milan, Italy... Oh, OK...
