our mission & vision

The International Maya League promotes the defense of Maya Peoples’ human rights and their dignity in Iximulew and across colonial borders. The worldview of the Original Peoples of Abiayala and the care for Mother Earth guide our cultivation of intergenerational spaces. Through leadership development and healing, we strengthen the power of our Peoples, Nations, Indigenous women and youth, and the LGTBQ2S+ community. With diverse allies, we build solutions and advocacy strategies to realize our dreams of justice, equity, and a respectful future for all of humanity and Mother Earth - to achieve the fullness of life.

The International Maya League is a Maya organization whose purpose is to promote, preserve, and transmit the cosmovision and worldview, culture, history, and contributions of our ancestors and the values of our traditional knowledge and stewardship of the earth into solutions and actions against current threats and violations affecting our peoples, the earth, and humanity. We are committed to creating a permanent link between our contemporary world and ancestral traditions, respecting the diversity of our Nation while building a shared vision with our peoples, and working closely with other Indigenous peoples, organizations, and allies who support our beliefs and values.
