During the 1970s and 1980s in Guatemala, tensions between the descendants of European immigrants and the native Indian population increased. In 1981, because of her activism, she had to leave Guatemala and flee to Mexico, where she organized peasants' resistance movements and was co-founder of the United Representation of the Guatemalan Opposition (RUOG).

"The struggle of the indigenous did not begin in 1992, and it will not end in 1992; it is simply an occasion to take advantage of the international attention. "We are not myths of the past, ruins in the jungle, or zoos. We are people and we want to be respected, not to be victims of intolerance and racism. "It is said that our indigenous ancestors, Mayas and Aztecs, made human sacrifices to their gods. It occurs to me to ask: How many humans have been sacrificed to the gods of Capital in the last five hundred years?" The Guatemalan indigenous woman, Rigoberta Menchu, lowers her eyes and continues, pausing often, in the same ironic tone: "Today the governments of Latin America should be ashamed of not having exterminated the indigenous, at the end of the twentieth century, because we exist at the end of this century. We are not myths of the past, ruins in the jungle, or zoos. We are people and we want to be respected, not to be victims of intolerance and racism."

Menchu was labeled a communist and several attempts on her life and her associates' lives were made by Guatemalan authorities when she began working through the Committee of Peasant Unity and speaking on behalf of her people nearly two decades ago. Menchu used political tactics and social work to lessen discrimination against Guatemalans of non-Spanish descent who were denied citizenship by the military-led government the same government that killed her brother, father and mother. Menchu's brother Petrocinio, was kidnapped and burned by military soldiers in 1979 while the family watched. In 1980, Menchu's father, Vincente, was among 39 Indian leaders who died in a fire at Guatemala's Spanish embassy while protesting human rights violations. In a separate incident, her mother, Juana, also a human rights advocate, was raped, tortured and killed one year later.

    Extractions: Premio Nobel de la Paz 1992 R igoberta Menchú Tum nació en Chimel, Guatemala, en 1959, y es descendiente de la antigua cultura Maya-Quiché. De niña trabajó en los campos, y más tarde fue empleada doméstica en la ciudad, donde conoció la injusticia, la discriminación y la miseria que aflige a los indígenas de Guatemala. N unca recibió educación formal, pero mostró siempre una aptitud especial para liderar con inteligencia a sus hermanos indígenas, lo que le valió la persecución de las fuerzas represivas guatemaltecas y el exilio en Mexico, a partir de 1980. Antes de partir, muchos miembros de su propia familia, incluida su madre, fueron torturados, violados y asesinados por los militares. Y a en el extranjero, dedicó su vida a la defensa y promoción de los derechos y los valores de los pueblos indígenas de América. Publicó un libro -Yo, Rigoberta Menchu- describiendo su lucha, y en 1992 recibió el Premio Nobel de la Paz por sus continuados esfuerzos en pro de sus hermanos sometidos. Rigoberta es la primera mujer de raza indígena que recibe este lauro. L as Naciones Unidas la nombraron Embajadora de Buena Voluntad en el Año Internacional de los Pueblos Indígenas (1993), y es asesora personal del Director General de la Unesco y presidente de la Iniciativa Indígena para la Paz.

    Extractions: Rigoberta Menchú Tum (1959- ), Guatemala. Nobel Peace Prize Rigoberta Menchu, a Guatemalan activist for the rights of the indigenous people and a winner of Nobel Peace Prize, was born in 1959 in a small Guatemalan village of Chimel located in the northern highlands. Her family was Quiche Indian and very poor. The small plot of land that the family owned did not produce enough to feed everyone. Like their neighbors, who were in the same predicament, they traveled to the coast to work as laborers on large coffee or cotton plantations, working up to fifteen hours a day for eight months a year. Life on a plantation was harsh. People lived in crowded sheds with no clean water or toilets. Children had to start working at an early age or else they were not fed. Rigoberta started working on the plantation at the age of eight. She did not have an opportunity to attend school. Two of her brothers died on the plantation, one as a result of poisoning from pesticides sprayed on coffee plants and another from malnutrition. Native Indians in Guatemala had no rights of citizenship, which were restricted to people of Spanish descent and were, therefore, vulnerable to abuses by those in power. When the military-led government and the wealthy plantation owners started taking Indian-occupied lands by force, Rigoberta's father, Vincente, became a leader in the peasant movement opposing this action. He began a series of petitions and then, protests, to secure these lands for the indigenous people who had been living on them until now. He was arrested and imprisoned many times for his activities.

15. Special - Rigoberta Menchu Tum: The Truth That Challenges The Future
    have sought to call in to question the testimony of rigoberta menchu tum, startingwith and fabricating the myth that is personified by the nobel Peace Prize  
    http://www.fhrg.org/mench1.htm
    
    Extractions: THE TRUTH THAT CHALLENGES THE FUTURE January 20, 1999 - from Rigoberta Menchu Tum Foundation press release In recent weeks, publications that have appeared in the media in different countries have sought to call in to question the testimony of Rigoberta Menchu Tum, starting with the publication of the work of a North American researcher who attempts to refute the recent history of Guatemala that today is recognized by both the world and the parties to the internal conflict a history which is dealt with as an ideological invention of the left, which he accuses, at the same time, of manipulating the person and fabricating the myth that is personified by the Nobel Peace Prize winner. Just when the commemorations of the 500th Anniversary appeared to have left behind the arrogance and the superiority complexes of those who have, until now, written history since the conquest, now we see how some people celebrate with unconcealed enthusiasm the appearance of these new chroniclers who attempt to return to their place the same old place those who had the audacity to add to the Official Story that which it was lacking: the vision of the conquered. And they do so protected by the presumably scientific rigor conferred upon them by the fact that they speak in the name of the North American academy. Nevertheless, ten years of idle pursuits to assemble a version made up of bits and pieces of interviews of dubious seriousness are no longer sufficient to modify this new history, nor much less to take us back to the myth that saw indigenous people as juvenile, ignorant and incapable of making their own decisions. One cannot keep appealing to that paternalistic vision according to which it was always others who decided their fate, be they the Iberians who came to "make America" five hundred years ago, or those who cannot bear the fact that the legitimate revolts of yesterday and today might be genuine expressions of those desirous of freedom and redemption for those peoples to whom the right to be themselves had been denied.

    Extractions: UNA VERDAD QUE DESAFIA AL FUTURO 20 de enero, 1999 - de Fundacion Rogoberta Menchu Tum comunicado de prensa English En las ultimas semanas, publicaciones aparecidas en medios de comunicacion de diferentes paises han pretendido poner en tela de juicio el testimonio de Rigoberta Menchu Tum, a partir de la publicacion del trabajo de un investigador norteamericano que intenta desmentir la historia reciente de Guatemala - que hoy reconocen el mundo y las que fueron partes de su conflicto interno- cual si se tratara de la invencion ideologizada de una izquierda a la que se acusa, a la vez, de manipular a la persona y fabricar el mito que encarna hoy la Premio Nobel de la Paz. Cuando las conmemoraciones del V Centenario parecian haber dejado atras la prepotencia y los complejos de superioridad de los que escribieron hasta ahora la historia desde la conquista, hoy vemos como algunos festejan con inocultable entusiasmo la aparicion de estos nuevos cronistas que pretenden volver a poner en su lugar -en el de siempre- a quienes tuvieron la osadia de anadir a la Historia Oficial la parte que le faltaba: la vision de los conquistados. Y lo hacen amparados en el presunto rigor cientifico que les confiere el hecho de hablar a nombre de la Academia estadounidense. Sin embargo, diez anos de devaneos para armar una version hecha de los retazos de entrevistas de dudosa seriedad, no son ya suficientes para modificar esta nueva Historia ni, mucho menos, para retroceder al mito que veia al indigena como menor de edad, ignorante e incapaz de tomar decisiones por si mismo. No se puede continuar apelando a esa vision paternalista segun la cual siempre fueron otros los que decidieron su suerte, sean estos los peninsulares que llegaron a hacerse la America hace 500 anos o quienes no pueden consentir que los levantamientos legitimos de ayer y de hoy sean expresiones genuinas de las ansias de libertad y redencion de los pueblos a quienes se les nego el derecho a ser ellos mismos.
