What a wonderful place! For those who may not know, wearing “Traje” or indigenous clothing was not allowed and often got people killed during the awful genocide. Wearing a traje now is the way many Guatemalans honor their ancestors and the resiliency that they displayed during their 36 year civil rights war. Most wear modern clothing, trajes, or mix the two together to keep the cultura going. So proud of my momma and her homeland, and proud to have that ancient strength running through my veins.
