Nauta descends from the Chamorro people, the indigenous people of Guam
Waltine Nauta was born in Agat, Guam. She is a descendant of the Chamorro people, the indigenous tribe of Guam, a US island territory in the western Pacific.
Nauta left Agat after enlisting in the US Navy in 2001. He rose through the ranks to become Senior Senior Culinary Specialist. Nauta’s mother, Pauline Torre, suggested to Washington Post that he had earned his role as Trump’s military aide: “If he was selected, out of so many people, to serve the president, that says it all.”
bbc reports that Nauta’s relatives seemed stunned when the outlet informed them of his accusation. Lani Nauta, her cousin, told the BBC that the family had just had electricity restored after a typhoon hit the island. Elly, Nauta’s aunt, described him as “family-oriented.” She appeared to blame Trump for the problems that have befallen Nauta, saying Washington Post:
“He’s a pretty good kid growing up, and as an adult pretty much the same. He is not a problem child. He is there to enjoy his life, not to cause trouble. He told his mom that there is nothing to worry about. He didn’t do anything wrong. All he got was for him to put the boxes where they were supposed to go.”
