Preserving the remnants of the Caste War in Tihosuco
In short: Discover how a new cooperative initiative is working to identify and protect the historical artifacts and sacred sites left behind by the Maya rebellion.
In this lecture, Dr. Richard Leventhal explores a collaborative effort between the Penn Cultural Heritage Center and the Museo de la Guerra de Castas. The project focuses on the preservation of significant symbols and artifacts from the Caste War, specifically targeting locations such as the abandoned town of La'al Kaj and Jacinto Pat's hacienda in Culumpich, which served as the rebellion's starting point.
Beyond archaeology, the initiative seeks to establish a sustainable economic development model for the Tihosuco region. The goal is to ensure long-term financial viability while empowering the Maya people to maintain control over their own cultural heritage and future.
