Guatemala mayan

Why do (some) Guatemalans get very upset when asked about Indians in Guatemala??
asked a Guatemalan woman about all the indians in Guatemala and she got pissed and said they don't exist. Why??
Every article that I read about Guatemala mentions mayans, indians, indeginous, etc.
Is she lying or what? Why do they (some of them) go mad?
I will tell you as I live in Guatemala.
Maybe I know why your friend is upset. It is not that we deny that we have in our country Mayan people.
The problem is another. I will tell you my experience. We have here an organization called INGUAT who is in charge of promote tourism to Guatemala, but in their campaign they only show Mayan people. Guatemala not only have Mayan people, we are a multicultural and multilingual country. So what INGUAT has to do is to promote the country as this not only the Mayan people.
I have friends from all over the world who have seen information about the country and believe me it is annoying that people think and ask if we still live in the cup of the trees.
For example...... the Mayan culture was one of the biggest cultures in the world full of wisdom, beauty and left a lot of knowledge for future generations. But see how the movie Apocalypto picture them? As a mad culture which is not true.
It is real that ALLl ancient cultures liked to make human sacrifices but Apocalypto never mentioned the good things they had and they gave people a bag image of Mayans.
And as the previous participant told you there is a crash between races here. Which is sad.

Mayan Indians - Guatemala
Does anyone speak the Mayan Mam Language from Guatemala? ?
If so can you help me with something? Can you contact me and give me some information? Thanks!
The Mam language is spoken by the Mam people of the highlands of western Guatemala, mostly in the departments (states) of Huetenango, Quetzaltenango and San Marcos. Because of a lack of literacy skills and interaction, the language can vary widely from village to village, even though the villages may be separated by just a few miles.
Based on the remoteness of these locations, the lack of Internet and the relative isolation of this population, you will find it difficult to reach any Mam speakers online. Your best bet is to keep searching the Web for answers.
I lived in Guatemala for ten years. If you edit your question to be more specific, I might be able to help with an edited response.
