Maya communities are groups of people who share a common heritage and culture rooted in the ancient Maya civilization. This civilization thrived in regions that are now part of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador. Today, many Maya communities continue to speak their traditional languages, such as K'iche', Yucatec, and Q'eqchi', and practice customs that have been passed down through generations. These communities often engage in agriculture, crafts, and traditional ceremonies that reflect their rich history. They maintain a strong connection to their ancestral lands and often face challenges related to land rights, cultural preservation, and economic development. Despite these challenges, Maya communities remain resilient and play a vital role in the cultural diversity of Central America.
