1. Comunidades Indígenas tienen derecho a ser titulares de tierras tradicionales, y debe ser reconocido por Ley.

Respaldados por el Derecho Internacional, mostramos apoyo a la comunidad Maya Q´eqchi´ en Agua Caliente, Guatemala como precedente internacional para que se  reconozca a las Comunidades como titulares colectivas de tierras tradicionales. Un derecho que debe ser reconocido por Ley. 

Protección de la Propiedad Intelectual Colectiva de los Textiles y Traje Maya es una necesidad

En Guatemala, la práctica ancestral del tejido sigue con el  uso cotidiano del traje Maya y en la producción de los textiles de los Mayas contemporáneos.  Sin embargo, su mercantilización y apropiación cultural por compañías extranjeras, son una amenaza para la cultura, ya que hace uso y venta descontextualizados de los tejidos y no benefician económicamente a los creadores de éste arte.  La Asociación AFEDES actualmente inicia un proceso legal en donde el Estado Guatemalteco cree un marco legal para el reconocimiento de dicha propiedad intelectual de los Pueblos y se reconoz

12 de Octubre, Reivindicando la fecha

Alrededor del mundo esta fecha ha recibido diferentes nombres  pero desde la visión de los pueblos originarios de América coincidimos en señalar que no es un día para celebrar sino para denunciar y no olvidar uno de los mayores genocidios de la humanidad, sin embargo conmemoramos la gesta heroica de resistencia de nuestros ancestros  quienes derramaron su sangre por la defensa de sus derechos.

Maíz: Semilla Ancestral, Fuente De Vida
