The modern Maya seem much different than their ancestors. Their difference probably all comes from the suppression that the Maya suffer in today’s world. The Maya don’t have the same freedoms as their ancestors did to learn, grow, build, think, etc. Since the Spanish Invasion the Maya have had to dwindle into the background. In fact before this class I did not know that the Maya were still alive today. Learning about the history of the Maya and how they once lived to the way they live today, it is similar to think about the Native Indians and how they have been treated.
Even though life is hard for the Maya today they still hold love and appreciation for life and the life of those that have passed just as their ancestors did. They may live in poverty today, but it dose not mean that they are poor. Love and appreciation for life is worth more than all the jewels and gems in the world. I believe the Maya have something to teach us all, and that we should take time to listen. The fact that this culture is still alive today says something…
