To pursue knowledge about the communities’ visions for thriving in the United States, I worked with Maya leaders in Ohio to coordinate a series of dialogues utilizing a Participatory Action Research paradigm. Participants exposed ways in which Western institutions (including hospitals, mental health providers, and schools) reenact elements of colonialism and fail to offer culturally sensitive care. The participants emphasized a key missing element in their well-being: renewing the relationship with the Earth that they lost through colonization and forced migration. To separate physical/mental health from these elements would deny the current ecological realities at the heart of the migrants’ existence. It would also recreate Eurocentric false division among mind, body, soul, and spirit. Maya focus group participants claimed that a decolonial approach to healing could be initiated by returning land to the communities, which they could use for cultivation, community gathering, food sovereignty, and sacred practices. Praxis participants offered critical guidance in re-imagining health and healing in community with each other and with the Earth, which they identified as the sources of flourishing, identity, cultural history, belonging, and spiritual connection.","PeriodicalId":506969,"journal":{"name":"Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysi","volume":"98 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139173049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Su actuación parte desde la base comunitaria en los municipios del centro del estado (Tulum, Felipe Carrillo Puerto y José María Morelos) y no está restringida al ámbito turístico, ya que integra diferentes elementos que confluyen en el desarrollo sustentable regional y la conservación del medio ambiente. Uno de estos elementos es la conservación del agua a partir de impulsar una Estrategia de Fortalecimiento a la Gobernanza Hídrica Comunitaria (EGH) en 46 comunidades del estado, de las cuales, 22 se encuentran en el destino Maya Ka’an. En esta estrategia, Amigos de Sian Ka’an tiene como objetivo transmitir y reforzar los conocimientos locales para promover la participación en la conservación del acuífero, cenotes, selvas, manglares y arrecifes. La aceptación e involucramiento de las personas en estas primeras acciones indican que la EGH es efectiva y que las comunidades podrán desarrollar y ejercer las estructuras de gobernanza hídrica propuestas, impulsando de forma integral la sustentabilidad comunitaria y la sustentabilidad turística y social en Maya Ka’an.","PeriodicalId":506969,"journal":{"name":"Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysi","volume":"13 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139175412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But well before Arévalo left office, the Revolution was already in the crosshairs of US military might. At least three challenges threatened the government of Arévalo: the ultra conservatives or the “anti-revolutionaries”; competitive aspirations of the revolutionaries; and the overarching power of the US businesses and US government. Arévalo encountered these challenges from the first day of his presidency, and thereafter. Bernardo Arévalo, Guatemala’s recently elected president, faces similar dangers: a powerful opposition from an entrenched civilian and military oligarchy, urban and rural disconnections, foreign economic power and influences, national inequality and corruption, and indigenous and ladino/Hispanic conflicting aspirations. The 78 years spread between 1945 and 2023 means that the details are different, but similarities testify to continuing troubles in Guatemala. A major difference is the 21st century power of indigenous peoples, and Bernardo Arévalo’s pledge to honor and work for the concerns of the indigenous peoples as well as all Guatemalans. This contrasts with the revolutionaries of the 1940s who classified indigenous peoples as peasants requiring education and uplifting through assimilation into the national Hispanic “culture”. In an apparent second difference, currently the United States has been a strong supporter of the new president and the democracy movement. In 1945, the US also appeared to favor Juan José Arévalo, and then soon turned against him.","PeriodicalId":506969,"journal":{"name":"Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysi","volume":"46 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139172846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

El propósito del escrito es mostrar la relevancia que tuvieron esos dibujos en la discusión sobre los primeros pobladores de América, al ser recuperados por algunos editores/anticuaristas como Henry Berthould (1822), Lord Kinsborough (1831), Henry Baranderé (1834) o Brasseur de Bourbourg (1866) en la primera mitad del siglo XIX. Estos personajes dieron a las imágenes una vida nueva a través de ostentosas publicaciones que a su vez influyeron en la producción de una nueva literatura de exploración y viajes. Igualmente, mediaron en los debates en torno al origen de los primeros pobladores de América entre coleccionistas de antigüedades, eruditos de sociedades científicas de la época y en la siguiente generación de artistas/exploradores (Frederick Waldeck 1826 y Frederick Catherwood 1839). Eventualmente, también llegarían a influir, por intermediación de los anteriores, en la formación de la joven ciencia antropológica decimonónica en el mundo noratlántico.","PeriodicalId":506969,"journal":{"name":"Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysi","volume":"25 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139175423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
