Q'anjob'al speaking Maya from western highland villages, primarily Santa Eulalia, of Huehuetenango, Guatemala, first arrived in southern Colorado's San Luis Valley in 1979. Since then hundreds more have come to work in the valley's agricultural fields and the mushroom farm located in Alamosa. Currently 400 or more documented and/or undocumented adults and their school-attending children live, work, and raise families in this economically impoverished, rural, high mountain valley region of Colorado. This paper presents an overview of how community groups came together to create education and culture change in Alamosa. |
