VISIT THE TAOTAO TANO: First lady's vision foundation

Honoring Mr. Olopai for his social economic and educational contributions to the CNMI

Carolinian navigator Lino Olopai. Olopai, author of The Rope to Tradition, Olopai reminisced about his past and how he came to know better his Carolinian heritage. Olopai said that being a navigator requires relying on one's skills and instincts and interpreting one's environment, including the stars. Carolinian navigation skills use stick charts that are raised and aligned with the stars to guide navigators as they sail across the vast stretches of the Pacific. He also shared his experiences about meeting other Carolinian navigators, through which he came to know more about his heritage and his present advocacy to balance traditional culture with the demands of modern life in the Commonwealth. Olopai's Rope of Traditionwas published by the Council in 2004.

Then! You can barely see cars passing by, Today! you can't even exit an intersection.

Then! we were so scared to fly anywhere with our only airplane available, Today! everyone is leaving the Island without a return plan.

Then! it was the most popular building on the Island, Now! you must posses foriegn language to even get a shopping bag or your change.

Then! it was the darkest road on Island to pass through, Now! it is the most peaceful, smooth no bumps or holes road you can find on Island.

Then! 40 years ago; it looks much better than today. The only difference about this section today is alot more houses alongside the road. The saddest part is; it is right next to the Legislature & Government buildings but the road remains the same just much worst.
