Did you know that 494 years ago this month, Portugese explorer Diego Da Rocha landed on the islands of present-day Yap State in the Federated States of Micronesia? Long before this encounter, the people of these islands crafted the large limestone discs generally referred to as “rai” or “stone money”. ⁠

Happy #ThrowbackThursday !!⁠
⁠
Can anyone identify this former #CPIS student? ⁠
⁠
It’s none other than Minister of State for the Republic of Palau, Faustina K. Rehuher-Marugg. Minister Rehuher-Marugg has established herself in the region as a strong proponent of cultural preservation and promotion. She is a member of the Palau National Commission on UNESCO as chair of the Cultural Committee. The lucky students of the 2019 Palau Field School had the opportunity to meet her as she made the time in her busy schedule to meet the students and speak at some of their activities. ⁠
⁠
Thank you for all the work you continue to do for the region, Minister!⁠
