Mayan rights

Mayan rights refer to the legal and cultural entitlements of the Maya peoples, indigenous groups primarily found in parts of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras. These rights focus on the recognition and preservation of their unique cultural heritage, language, land, and self-governance. They emphasize the importance of traditional practices, as well as access to natural resources and participation in decision-making processes that affect their communities. Protecting Mayan rights is essential for promoting social justice and preserving the rich history and identity of the Maya people in the face of globalization and development pressures.
