Aghurubw

Aghurubw (Pronounced "A-GA-BU-RU") was a Carolinian (Refaluwasch) Chief and master navigator who led his people from Satawal to what is now Saipan in the early 19th century.
Journey to Saipan and settlement.
After an 1815 typhoon destroyed life on their home island, Chief Aghurubw of the Ghatoliyool clan and Chief Nguschul (Pronounced "NU"-"GU"-"SCHUL") of Elato asked permission from the Spanish Governor Farallon de Medinilla for their people to settle on Saipan. The Spaniards allowed them to move there to manage their cattle herds, turning the island into a ranch or cattle plantation They were also allowed to go to Tinian which neighbors Saipan. Aghurubw received a legal certificate and traditional symbols of a leader. He was given a cane in addition to a tall black hat. Due to the tall hat he was called "parúng." This made him a paramount chief.
To get to the island he used an ancient sea route called "metawal wool." The island of Satawal is five hundred miles from Saipan. They landed on a beach called Micro Beach. After bringing his people there the Carolinians built a village called Arabwal. He gave the village that name. 
Legacy.
After his death, Chief Aghurubw was buried on Managaha (Ghalaghal) island. The man was buried upright which was a request of his so that he could see Micro Beach.
On the island there is statue of him. Due to him being buried there the place is sacred to Refaluwasch people in CNMI. People come to the island every year to celebrate him.
More Carolinians came after the two leaders brought their people and setup villages. The Carolinians' who setup settlements on Saipan were successful after the chiefs brought their people.
The Chief has his own holiday called Chief Aghurubw Day. This holiday is considered a big part of the Refaluwasch culture on the CNMI. In addition to this there is a foundation named after him called Chief Aghurubw Foundation. It was formed by the Ghatoliyool Clan.
