Txinaqi

An Indigenous Mayor preparing the sacred place on the top of the hill of Txinaqi for one of the last Maya ceremonies. Red signs on the tree trunk announce that soon a high voltage tower will be built on the top of Txinaqi, transporting electricity from the hydroelectric power plant located nearby. Ilom is one of the Indigenous Communities that suffered dissastrous repressions in the 80. during the Guatemalan Civil War, including a massacre where 85 persons were executed by the military and all of the remaining population displaced.
