Maya peoples
Moved from category: For the purposes of this list, "Maya Peoples" designates groups that share the Maya macroculture of southern Mesoamerica, which encompasses the pre-Hispanic cultures extending from the Yucatan Peninsula in present day Mexico south to present day Honduras and El Salvador as well as several dozen modern ethnic groups in the same region "who speak diverse historically related languages and share distinctive culture and cosmology."[1]
Destination: Ethnic group
Barth
Destination: K'iche'
Colonial Period
The K'iche' first made contact with the Spanish conquistadors in 1523, with the arrival of an expeditionary force led by Pedro de Alvarado.
Early Republican Period
Religion
Traditional Maya religious custom, or costumbre, is a syncretic conglomeration of pre-Columbian traditions and Catholicism. It combines devotion to the Catholic saints and celebrations of the Catholic festivals with traditional dances and elaborate ceremonies conducted at ceremonial sites that are scattered throughout the surrounding mountains.
Evangelical Protestantism has become increasingly strong since its arrival in the region in the 1970s.[1]
Destination: Maya costumbre

The term is necessarily imprecise because there are some 30(?) distinct modern Maya ethnic groups spread over a region that encompasses parts of five countries and a number of different ecological zones.
