People from Guam are U.S. nationals. Guam is an unincorporated territory of the United States, which means that while its residents are U.S. nationals, they do not have all the same rights as U.S. citizens living in the 50 states. For example, they cannot vote in U.S. presidential elections.
Guam’s relationship with the U.S. dates back to 1898, when the island was ceded to the United States by Spain after the Spanish-American War. Since then, the people of Guam have been U.S. nationals, and they hold U.S. passports.
Despite being U.S. nationals, the people of Guam have a distinct cultural identity. The indigenous people of Guam are the Chamorro, who have their own language, traditions, and customs. This blend of U.S. nationality and Chamorro heritage makes the people of Guam unique.
