my family is from Morazon in El Salvador and Marcala in Honduras. We have lencan ancestry but much of the knowledge is lost ): how can I find more stories like this?
Ki yeri. In short yes, all of El Salvador was and is but some communities have stronger influence from our more recent (Nahua) Nawapipil migrant neighbors who we respect. Even though we’ve lost a lot, most communities and families have history that is buried just below the surface in plain sight like our artesanías. We are resilient with what we still have. Ciudad Barrios is surrounded by towns with the place name Gua-, -gua, -ique, -lepa which means it is Lenca land. It is the valley of the sacred guara, guacamaya, or macaw. Many allied tribes under the leadership of the Taulepa (Jaguar House) hereditary clan.
Yes that is lenka territory, actually Usulután, san Miguel, Morazán and la union, they were lenka domination, long ago, all lenkas village reunited a one army to destroy the garrison at san Miguel, killing hundreds of spaniards... A huge victory for all lenkas.. I'm proud of it.. my ancestors were lenkas...
Yes, there is a hill where the ancient ruins of a Lenca settlement are buried. Many of the residents of this village moved to Guatajiagua when the Spanish came
