Gadao's Cave is the painted — the '50 pictographs' that's the panel's count, the 'coral lime' that's the paint's mix. The 'chief drew' is the claimed — the 'Gadao' that's the legend's name, the 'unknown' that's the artist's truth. The 'coconut cracked' is the tricked — the 'bare hands' that's the strength's show, the 'rival fled' that's the contest's end.
The 'stick figures' is the carried — the 'things under arm' that's the image's detail, the 'two' that's the figures' count. The 'restricted' is the kept — the 'address hidden' that's the site's guard, the '1974' that's the listing's year. Gadao's Cave is the kept — the 'limestone' that's the canvas's rock, the 'Inarajan' that's the village's name.
The file keeps Gadao's: the painted figures, the claimed chief, the cracked coconut, and the restricted site.
Gadao's Cave is the archive's Guam file — the art the chief signed.

FILED CLAIMS — 1 on record, reported not verified
· [Documented legend] hero legend: Guampedia retells how Gadao and Malaguana split a canoe by paddling oppositely, associating the story with cave imagery. The landscape at Gadao’s Cave is the claim's whole setting: Guam wilderness with a name for the unexplained. The account has a collector's pedigree — written down as legend, which is the most honest status it can hold. 'Folktale: Gadao’s Strength' carries the account. Legends accrue where records go silent; this one filled the gap and stayed.
