Well associated with Chief Taga.

A well in Tinian, Northern Mariana Islands, Taga Well is filed here for what the record attaches to it. Well associated with Chief Taga. The name the accounts keep returning to is Chief Taga. The dossier holds 1 reported claim, 1 legend and 1 documented fact, with the verified spine filed separately from the lore. Visitor status is unverified; confirm before making the trip.

Taga Well is the found — the 'boy dug' that's the water's birth, the 'crab led' that's the discovery's guide. The 'Taga refused' is the told — the 'tree stood' that's the fruit's worth, the 'son pushed' that's the strength's proof. The 'half-sister' is the gave — the 'bathed first' that's the well's gift, the 'fresh water' that's the island's need.
The 'House of Taga' is the stood — the '15 feet' that's the pillars' size, the 'one left' that's the earthquakes' toll. The 'largest latte' is the claimed — the 'Marianas' apex' that's the build's rank, the '800 years' that's the era's date. Taga Well is the myth — the 'giant chief' that's the legend's frame, the 'stones real' that's the ground's truth.
The file keeps Taga Well: the found water, the pushed tree, the standing pillar, and the myth's chief.
Taga Well is the archive's Marianas file — where a boy's crab led to the island's spring.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Taga Well is the archive's Marianas file — the spring a giant's son found chasing a crab.
A well keeps its legend — the file's suggestion being that Taga's hold is the storied: the 'crab led' that's the discovery's path, the 'tree pushed' that's the son's strength, and the 'pillar stands' that's the House's last.

FILED CLAIMS — 1 on record, reported not verified
· [Documented legend] hero legend: MVA attributes the well’s construction to Chief Taga in local tradition. Taga Well's file is thin on proof and long on persistence — the standard profile of American place-lore. The account has a collector's pedigree — written down as legend, which is the most honest status it can hold. As folklore it's unkillable: the story is too good, and the place too fitting, to let go.

HISTORY — 1 documented facts
· MVA cites George Anson’s 1742 account of a sailor drowning in the well. A documented history gives the file real substance; this entry is part of that spine. The fact is historically verified — the part of the file that doesn't need hedging. The detail is preserved in 'Tinian'. Documented ground is what separates this file from pure legend — this is part of it.
