my grandpa came to the U.S from yucatan and I am now diving into my family history. One day I hope to keep the maya language alive

[@klatie256]

I usually approach these kinds of things with apprehension, but you did a spectacular job. You really let these people explain themselves what their heritage and their existence means to them, with open arms and open mind, and that was something special. Thanks so much

[@Ayala_411]

Proud of my Mayan heritage ✊🏽

[@annastayziaa]

Beautiful video. Thank you. ♥️

[@soiledelf5231]

Did you know the Mayans traveled to Cuba to become farmers and I'm proud to carry on the heritage stay safe and stay blessed.

[@jm5390]

Loved everything about this video! I would love to explore for weeks the Mayan sites & heritages of Mexico and Guatemala.

[@angelfuentes7299]

I’m Guatemalan and I have enough Mayan heritage to be considered as an indigenous

[@rajaprabhavathy]

Happy to see your comment.I belong to Tamil Nadu State in India. We can relate Mayan civilization to Ancient Tamil history...

[@Gekumatz]

@@rajaprabhavathy yes tamil history is very similair to mayan history which is really cool, im mayan from the huehuetenango province in guatemala.

[@cruzhernandez8919]

I guess I need to read up I’m Mayan people to get an idea .

[@TheRamnath007]

I am from Tamil Nadu too. A Hindu currently in Mexico want to know more about Maya

Indigenous is a term for all South Americans, South American is really a new word that categorizes the people, another example for a category of different oriented race is Slavic, English, Asian, many people don't realize that Indians are considered Asian, they are really a mix of indigenous and Asian, there are even mixes of Arabic and European countries like hungaria, or turkey. It's very fascinating

This man has a lot of courage not only to go to a distant land with a distinct culture, but also to talk about his brother like that.

[@tylervanmeter5628]

This was really beautiful! Connecting to your brother while learning about the Mayan view on the deceased... This made this documentary the best.

[@Boo-bl1oc]

This was such a beautiful video, thank you ;;

It would have been so beautiful if the Mayan culture was never destroyed by Spanish . Now Mayans dont even know who they were, what were their rituals, religion, they dont even have their own names. Mostly European Christian names. Christianity was imposed on them. Now people want to learn that culture but no one blames people who converted them and destroyed their identity.

[@alicesenz6374]

Mayan culture does still live on though. Mayan languages are still spoken natively by millions of people in Mexico and central America. The colonists did destroy a lot of the traditions and the Indigenous people do need more protections to be sure, but there is still a living Mayan culture that has lived on.

[@free22]

People were forcibly converted and resettled into Spanish style homes it appears. So you cannot blame those who converted.

[@vvvrrruuummm9355]

@@alicesenz6374 thousands dude. It's true. The mayan culture is eroding every year if not by the day. Don't belive me? You should check Belize

[@VOLightPortal]

Catholicism is a Demonic and Evil religion.

[@HeyAshleyRenne]
