We have recently been talking about Guatemala and its people in class. I found this website particularly interesting because it shows the personal photographs and descriptions of a colonial Guatemalan town. The photos show indigenous peoples in this town. It is extremely interesting to see the pictures of the indigenous women selling their textiles in the town square. This reminded my of Rigoberta Menchu's book, in which she describes her family traveling to the town to sell goods so that they could make money without being forced to go to the finca to work. The photos also show the traditional dress of the indigenous people that was also described in Rigoberta's book.
Here is the link to this website:
