Title: Indigenous Maya Women Speak Mam Next To A Roman Catholic Church In Rural Hueheuetenango
Date: 1982-09-01
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: Indigenous Maya women speak Mam as they sit next to a Roman Catholic church in rural Huehuetenango, Guatemala, September 1, 1982. The Mam peoples live primarily in the western highlands of Guatemala and southwestern Mexico. Catholicism was introduced to the region during the Spanish colonization of the Americas. In the following centuries, forced conversion and other methods to indoctrinate indigenous communities into the Roman Catholic Church produced a syncretism of Catholicism and native Maya traditions.
