100/100

This module examines how Micronesians in the United States continue to resist colonial control in the diaspora. It examines how the subregion of Micronesia is connected to the US government and explores the negative impacts of the US control in Pacific Island politics and populations. It also shares stories from Micronesians who resist colonial control while living within the US.

How do the states and territories in Micronesia fit within the larger US government? 

How do various acts of resistance help Micronesians?

As Indigenous peoples, what issues do Micronesians confront today?
