Representing the CNMI\u2019s multicultural heritage, various cultural offices banded together to create a float that encompasses the different indigenous cultures in the CNMI during the annual Liberation Day parade last year. For the Chamorro culture, the group featured a replica of the original Chamorro canoe seemingly sailing in the ocean.<\/p>\n
