Constituting Guatemala's majority population, the K'iche', Kaqchikel, Mam, Q'eqchi' and 18 other Maya nations whose pyramid cities, astronomical calendars, and hieroglyphic writing represented one of humanity's greatest civilizations.
Maya Peoples of Guatemala — the living descendants of the civilization that built Tikal, Quiriguá, and Iximché, whose Long Count calendar tracked cosmic time across millennia and whose hieroglyphic script was one of the ancient world's most sophisticated writing systems. Spanish conquest shattered Maya political structures but could not extinguish Maya identity — across five centuries of colonialism, coffee dispossession, and the 1980s genocide that targeted highland communities, Guatemala's 22 Maya language groups maintained their distinct identities, textile traditions, and ceremonial life. Today's Maya cultural renaissance — in literature, law, education, and politics — asserts that Guatemala's future cannot be built without honoring the majority civilization at its foundation. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that Tikal pyramid and Maya Guatemalan heritage legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
