Guamanian
From Guam island
Guamanian refers to a person from Guam, a U.S. territory in the western Pacific Ocean, or to anything relating to the island.
The indigenous Chamorro people make up a significant portion of the population, though Guamanian encompasses all residents regardless of ethnic background: Guamanian voters participate in U.S. presidential primaries but not the general election.
