The K'iche' people are an indigenous group from Guatemala, primarily residing in the highlands. They are one of the largest Maya ethnic groups and speak the K'iche' language, which is part of the larger Mayan language family. The K'iche' have a rich cultural heritage, including traditional clothing, music, and dance, which reflect their historical roots. Historically, the K'iche' are known for their role in the Maya civilization and their significant contributions to Maya literature, particularly the Popol Vuh, a sacred text that narrates the creation of the world and the history of the K'iche' people. Today, they continue to preserve their traditions while navigating modern challenges.
