The Lenca are an indigenous people primarily found in western Honduras and eastern El Salvador. They have a rich cultural heritage, including traditional crafts, music, and agricultural practices. The Lenca language, part of the Mesoamerican linguistic family, is still spoken by some community members, although many also speak Spanish. Historically, the Lenca were known for their resistance against Spanish colonization in the 16th century. Today, they continue to advocate for their rights and cultural preservation, facing challenges such as land disputes and economic marginalization. Efforts are being made to revitalize their traditions and promote awareness of their history.
