East Carolina University (ECU) proposes to develop a program for the NEH Dialogues on the Experiences of War grant that will train local Saipan veterans and humanities scholars and practitioners to conduct discussion groups with local Saipanese veterans in the subject of ?cultural heritage of war? as it relates to the understanding and promotion of difficult heritage. The humanities discussion program will focus on two wars, the 17th century Spanish-Chamorro Wars and the WWII Battle of Saipan through five intersecting themes including: Veteran and Indigenous identity; Othering the enemy; The civilian; Post-colonial contexts of war; and Memorialization and tourism of war.
