Maya indigenous peoples prevail despite over 5 centuries of
systematic efforts to annihilate them. Although their mature culture has
suffered some reversals before, during and after the arrival of Spaniards, the
resilience of their culture has proven to be long-lasting.
In our days, the descendants of the Maya culture exist in
various colonial countries and maintain a distinctive set of traditions and
beliefs that have stood firm and proud. Millions of people speak Mayan
languages today in several countries, mainly in Central America and Mexico.
