While war history in the Northern Marianas has largely revolved around "strategic" United States military interests and conventional histories of warfare that highlight technological intervention, post-war development and stories of United States triumphalism, far too little analyzes have paid attention to the everyday experiences with militarism that frame Indigenous livelihoods throughout.

Incorporating different mediums, the exhibition provides an opportunity to highlight the everyday resistance to militarism by Indigenous people and seeks to address Indigenous experiences with militarism in everyday life under contemporary US imperialism amid growing geopolitical tensions between larger and more powerful nations such as the United States, China, and Russia.
