Gadao (modern CHamoru Gådao) is the legendary high chief of the southern Guam village of Inalåhan (Inarajan). Two principal legends surround him. In the Three Feats of Strength he proves his worth against the island's other chiefs; in the Battle Between the Chiefs, a rival chief of Tumon in the north — called Malaguana or Mataquana in different retellings — travels south to challenge him. Gadao, unrecognized, greets the visitor and cracks open coconuts with his bare hands, and when the shaken challenger tries to leave with Gadao sharing his canoe, the two men paddle in opposite directions with such force that the canoe tears in half, each chief shooting away on his own half. A panel of roughly fifty pictographs in the cave now called Liyang Gådao (Gadao's Cave), listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, includes two human figures popularly identified with the contending chiefs, and a statue of Gadao stands in Inalåhan today.
