The Covenant: The Next 20 Years was the third and final segment of a series of public forums
sponsored by the Northern Marianas Humanities Council featuring discussions by CNMI leaders
and experts on civil rights, indigenous rights, and political rights in the context of the Covenant
to Establish a Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in Political Union with the United
States of America.

The contents of this film were originally recorded on three VHS tapes at the public forum
scheduled on December 13, 1997 at Diamond Hotel, Saipan. The recording was subsequently
digitized in March 2026 by the Council in order to preserve its contents and distribute the
recording of the event to a public audience. It is important for viewers to note that an
estimated 60 minutes of the original recorded footage was not recovered during the digital
preservation process.

Fifty years later, we celebrate not only this historic agreement, but the strength, resilience, and shared vision of our people. The Covenant reflects our journey of self-determination, partnership, and progressโ€”built on the voices and aspirations of those who came before us, and carried forward by future generations.

As we mark this golden anniversary, let us reflect on how far weโ€™ve come, recognize the work still ahead, and renew our commitment to preserving our culture, uplifting our communities, and shaping a prosperous future for all.
