| Description | What we are celebrating is our right. We already know that in everything we have the right, because they have done several things to us. We are already here to watch over our people, as well as our rivers and territory. In the past they [ladino companies] had not entered our town, but our grandparents watched over our territories and our rivers. In the present there are already several companies that enter. We do not want them, because we are not daughters or children of companies, but we are from the town of Chajul. |
