MINING & INDIGENOUS RIGHTS


IN HUEHUETENANGO, GUATEMALA

by Pascual Bernabé Velásquez



Pascual Bernabé Velásquez, a Q’anjob’al Mayan,

is a city council member of San Juan Ixcoy

and a representative of the Departmental Assembly of Huehuetenango, Guatemala.

This Assembly has sought to make Huehuetenango a “Mining-Free Territory”

and now struggles to prevent

hydroelectric dams from displacing the indigenous Mayan people.
