An image of Guam from the 1970s. The Alupang area of Tamuning along Marine Drive.
According to legend, Alupang gets its name from an ancient battle between maga’låhi (male chiefs) from different villages that once took place there.
Alu was a maga’låhi from Tamuning and Pang was a maga’låhi from a southern village on Guam. During the battle, their power was so great that each time they struck each other, the trees around them were knocked flat from the force.
Although both were wounded and bloodied, Alu eventually gained the upper hand and Pang attempted to flee. He swam out towards the reef. Alu responded by taking a huge boulder and hurling it after him. The rock crushed his opponent and sits there off the beach up until today.
