GUMA TÅGA (House of Taga) N690 NABAHA 2026 EDITION

The Guma Tåga (House of Taga) N690 Nabåha is my pocket knife tribute to one of the most powerful cultural landmarks in the Marianas: Guma Tåga (House of Tåga) on Tinian, CNMI — known as the largest latte house site in the Marianas.

Latte stones weren’t decorations. They were the foundation of Chamorro homes — built from two parts: the haligi (pillar) and tåsa (capstone). At Guma Tåga, those pillars stood around 15 feet tall. That scale is a reminder of the engineering, strength, and pride our ancestors carried.

The Artwork (and why it’s on this knife)

The artwork on this Nabåha is based on a historic 19th-century depiction tied to the Freycinet expedition (1819) — when French explorer Louis Claude de Freycinet visited the Marianas and his draftsman/artist Jacques Arago documented scenes from our region, including Guma Tåga.

So this isn’t just “cool art.”
It’s a visual time capsule — a bridge from:

Ancient Chamorro architecture → early historical documentation → modern island craftsmanship.

This is me carrying culture forward in a way you can actually use every day.
