《关岛组织法》与美属关岛原住民公民权利运动的发展

Abstract:Guam is one of the oldest colonies in the Pacific in modern colonial history. The indigenous people of Guam have not been able to have legitimate political status and citizenship. In the first half of the 20th century，the indigenous people of Guam launched many citizenship petitions to seek American citizenship. After overhalf a century’s efforts，the Organic Act of Guam was promulgated in 1950. However，the Organic Act of Guam did not fundamentally address the political status and citizenship of Guam and its people，but rather continued to sever the survival bonds of indigenous people. On the contrary，after the promulgation of the Organic Act of Guam，frequent military activities and the influx of a large number of immigrants continued to compress the living space of the indigenous people，thus stimulating their collective struggle to safeguard national rights and interests.
