Abstract

:For residents of present-day U.S. territories such as Guåhan (Guam), the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the already uneven political relationship between these territories and the federal government. During the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic on the island, members of Independent Guåhan, the Commission on Decolonization's independence task force, envisioned what a decolonized future might look like, and in the process, engaged notions of imperial borders and Indigenous sovereignty. Established in 1997, Guåhan's Commission on Decolonization and its three task forces on independence, statehood, and free association, focus on examining the potential of a different political relationship with the U.S. government.
