Gadao's Statue, located in the village of Inarajan, is a tribute to Chief Gadao, an ancient Chamorro leader. Gadao was known for his legendary physical strength. The statue depicts a particular episode where Gadao was competing with a rival chief from the village of Tumon by the name of Malaguana, to see who was stronger. The chiefs sat in the same canoe, but one chief paddled in one direction while the other paddled in the opposite direction. As a result of the opposite forces, the canoe split in half, the image that is depicted in the statue.
