This was the first group designated in an official capacity to represent the island as previous festivals normally consisted of visual artists, weavers, carvers, cultural singers and dancers. At the urging of J. Lawrence Cruz, former president of the Department of Chamorro Affairs and overall chairperson of Guam’s official delegation, Peter R. Onedera was contacted to form a group comprised of storytellers.
Thus, the following comprised the original members of the group:
Kevin James Camacho
+Peter John "Makahna" Duenas
David "Dave" De Leon Flores, Jr.
