Maga’Låhi Ladåhao was a great Chief from Alaian, (Araiao)
Saipan. He refused to bow to the
oppressive foreigners and their demands that he accept Spain as the new ruler
of the islands.
Ladåhao led his people on many battles. They respected him for his wisdom and
valor. At one point under his
leadership, he drove the Spaniards fleeing back to Guåhan. Don Jose de Quiroga, a brutal commander
responded by sending more reinforcements.
In 1684, a fully armed fleet of ships landed at Tanåpak and
a fierce battle ensued. CHamorus
showered the fleet with lances and sling stones. The Spaniards, however, responded viciously
with their guns and cannons. Hundreds of
CHamorus died bravely.
Ladåhao, although wounded, managed to escape to Gåni (the
name of the islands north of Saipan) to recover. He was later captured and taken to Guåhan
where Quiroga swiftly ordered that Ladåhao be put to death.
