Our Mission

As indigenous people of Guåhan, the Marianas and the broader Micronesia, we believe that it is our responsibility to help to build for future generations — a world where our traditions, knowledge and connections to the land and ocean are valued and protected. Our model teaches stewardship of our islands and ocean through cultural ownership — that islander children protect and respect their home when they know, love, and feel a personal connection to it. This is our responsibility to our elders and to all of the generations that are to come.

EQUIPPING the future caretakers of our land, ocean and culture.

Our History

To fill a need for relevant programming for island children of Guåhan and Micronesia, Cara Flores and her cousin began producing a kids show in a spare room of their grandmother’s home using brightly colored, cardboard cutout sets made by local artists. The unique show used song, chant, skits, and (sometimes mispronounced) Chamoru language to affirm identity, teach kids about their home and to inspire a deep love for our land, ocean and culture. (The pilot series was supported in part by a small grant from CAHA.)

Duk Duk Goose, Inc. was founded several years later in late 2013 by a small group of Chamoru educators, advocates and activists. After setting up a small studio and office in Hagåtña, the team produced a full Season of Nihi!

Today, Nihi Indigenous Media is a small but growing indigenous production house based in Guåhan, committed to uplifting indigenous voices and stories from our home and all across our region.
