2 Guatemala In Guatemala 65% of the population have Mayan origins. Mayan people are very fond of and continue their old traditions dating all the way back to the pre- Hispanic era in the year 2,000 b.c. However, due to economical necessities, modern communication and multiculturalism, Mayan civilization has had to modernize, leaving behind valuable heritage and land looking for opportunities of subsistence elsewhere. A way of preserving and rescuing this rich culture, which is still alive and present in Guatemala, is making it known. For this reason and thanks to our invitation made by the Mill Creek Rotary Club to participate in their annual auction, we feel proud to present Guatemalan culture.

3 Guatemala Indigenous people are very good artisans, specially when it comes to working with textiles. They produce their own threads with antique methods and elaborate their clothes, which are unique in the world. They make drawings with historical symbolic meanings of their gods, religious beliefs, family history, all based on nature. The following catalogue shows this rich culture with products created with pieces of their clothing like the huipil, belts, rebozos, chachales and many other items used in their daily lives.
