22. Special - Rigoberta Menchu Tum: The Truth That Challenges The Future rigoberta menchu tum THE TRUTH THAT CHALLENGES THE FUTURE. January 20, 1999 from rigoberta menchu tum Foundation press release. español http://www.fhrg.org/mench1.htm

Special RIGOBERTA MENCHU TUM: THE TRUTH THAT CHALLENGES THE FUTURE January 20, 1999 - from Rigoberta Menchu Tum Foundation press release In recent weeks, publications that have appeared in the media in different countries have sought to call in to question the testimony of Rigoberta Menchu Tum, starting with the publication of the work of a North American researcher who attempts to refute the recent history of Guatemala that today is recognized by both the world and the parties to the internal conflict a history which is dealt with as an ideological invention of the left, which he accuses, at the same time, of manipulating the person and fabricating the myth that is personified by the Nobel Peace Prize winner. Just when the commemorations of the 500th Anniversary appeared to have left behind the arrogance and the superiority complexes of those who have, until now, written history since the conquest, now we see how some people celebrate with unconcealed enthusiasm the appearance of these new chroniclers who attempt to return to their place the same old place those who had the audacity to add to the Official Story that which it was lacking: the vision of the conquered. And they do so protected by the presumably scientific rigor conferred upon them by the fact that they speak in the name of the North American academy. Nevertheless, ten years of idle pursuits to assemble a version made up of bits and pieces of interviews of dubious seriousness are no longer sufficient to modify this new history, nor much less to take us back to the myth that saw indigenous people as juvenile, ignorant and incapable of making their own decisions. One cannot keep appealing to that paternalistic vision according to which it was always others who decided their fate, be they the Iberians who came to "make America" five hundred years ago, or those who cannot bear the fact that the legitimate revolts of yesterday and today might be genuine expressions of those desirous of freedom and redemption for those peoples to whom the right to be themselves had been denied.

Especial RIGOBERTA MENCHU TUM: UNA VERDAD QUE DESAFIA AL FUTURO 20 de enero, 1999 - de Fundacion Rogoberta Menchu Tum comunicado de prensa English En las ultimas semanas, publicaciones aparecidas en medios de comunicacion de diferentes paises han pretendido poner en tela de juicio el testimonio de Rigoberta Menchu Tum, a partir de la publicacion del trabajo de un investigador norteamericano que intenta desmentir la historia reciente de Guatemala - que hoy reconocen el mundo y las que fueron partes de su conflicto interno- cual si se tratara de la invencion ideologizada de una izquierda a la que se acusa, a la vez, de manipular a la persona y fabricar el mito que encarna hoy la Premio Nobel de la Paz. Cuando las conmemoraciones del V Centenario parecian haber dejado atras la prepotencia y los complejos de superioridad de los que escribieron hasta ahora la historia desde la conquista, hoy vemos como algunos festejan con inocultable entusiasmo la aparicion de estos nuevos cronistas que pretenden volver a poner en su lugar -en el de siempre- a quienes tuvieron la osadia de anadir a la Historia Oficial la parte que le faltaba: la vision de los conquistados. Y lo hacen amparados en el presunto rigor cientifico que les confiere el hecho de hablar a nombre de la Academia estadounidense. Sin embargo, diez anos de devaneos para armar una version hecha de los retazos de entrevistas de dudosa seriedad, no son ya suficientes para modificar esta nueva Historia ni, mucho menos, para retroceder al mito que veia al indigena como menor de edad, ignorante e incapaz de tomar decisiones por si mismo. No se puede continuar apelando a esa vision paternalista segun la cual siempre fueron otros los que decidieron su suerte, sean estos los peninsulares que llegaron a hacerse la America hace 500 anos o quienes no pueden consentir que los levantamientos legitimos de ayer y de hoy sean expresiones genuinas de las ansias de libertad y redencion de los pueblos a quienes se les nego el derecho a ser ellos mismos.

Tum, Rigoberta Menchú Rigoberta Menchu was born on January 9, 1959 to a poor Indian peasant family and raised in the Quiche branch of the Mayan culture. In her early years she helped with the family farm work, either in the northern highlands where her family lived, or on the Pacific coast, where both adults and children went to pick coffee on the big plantations. Rigoberta Menchu soon became involved in social reform activities through the Catholic Church, and became prominent in the women's rights movement when still only a teenager. Such reform work aroused considerable opposition in influential circles, especially after a guerilla organization established itself in the area. The Menchu family was accused of taking part in guerrilla activities and Rigoberta's father, Vicente, was imprisoned and tortured for allegedly having participated in the execution of a local plantation owner. After his release, he joined the recently founded Committee of the Peasant Union (CUC). In 1979, Rigoberta, too, joined the CUC. That year her brother was arrested, tortured and killed by the army. The following year, her father was killed when security forces in the capital stormed the Spanish Embassy where he and some other peasants were staying. Shortly afterwards, her mother also died after having been arrested, tortured and raped. Rigoberta became increasingly active in the CUC, and taught herself Spanish as well as other Mayan languages than her native Quiche. In 1980, she figured prominently in a strike the CUC organized for better conditions for farm workers on the Pacific coast, and on May 1, 1981, she was active in large demonstrations in the capital. She joined the radical 31st of January Popular Front, in which her contribution chiefly consisted of educating the Indian peasant population in resistance to massive military oppression.

Firmando la DECLARACION DE LA CUMBRE DE LOS PUEBLOS INDIGENAS DE LAS AMERICAS Ottawa, Canada, 31 Marzo, 2001 DISCURSO Quiero empezar saludando al gran Jefe Matthew Coon Come, Sin embargo, los responsables allí están. Gozan de libertad, están haciendo, ejerciendo el poder. No hay tribunal que los castiga, no hay ley que sea aplicable a ellos, sin embargo a nosotros, las victimas se nos exige que olvidemos esa crueldad, esa criminalidad. Cuando vemos los informes, el 1% de las exhumaciones que se han hecho hasta ahora, el 1% son "no natos" y la inmensa mayoría de ellos nacieron en un vientre indígena. Y para eso no hay justicia. Es decir, las definiciones, las leyes, tiene una gran importancia porque está probado que lo que no está legislado son derechos que no existen en la práctica. Por lo tanto los abusos que se han cometido contra los Pueblos Indígenas, nunca fueron abusos, fueron solamente una ofensa, pero no fueron delitos. El día en que la ley diga "no al racismo contra los pueblos indigenas" entonces tendremos oportunidad de castigar el racismo porque ya es delito. Es por eso que hago un homenaje a la lucha de la señora Erica Dice, don Agusto Williamsen, de Littlechild y muchos otros que desde hace 20 años discuten, proponen, oran sobre derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas en las Naciones Unidas.

Menchu was labeled a communist and several attempts on her life and her associates' lives were made by Guatemalan authorities when she began working through the Committee of Peasant Unity and speaking on behalf of her people nearly two decades ago. Menchu used political tactics and social work to lessen discrimination against Guatemalans of non-Spanish descent who were denied citizenship by the military-led government the same government that killed her brother, father and mother. Menchu's brother Petrocinio, was kidnapped and burned by military soldiers in 1979 while the family watched. In 1980, Menchu's father, Vincente, was among 39 Indian leaders who died in a fire at Guatemala's Spanish embassy while protesting human rights violations. In a separate incident, her mother, Juana, also a human rights advocate, was raped, tortured and killed one year later.

Office of College Communications College News and Press Releases Saint Mary's College in the News Faculty Experts ... College News and Press Releases Nobel Laureate Rigoberta Menchú Tum on "Human Rights and Catholic Activism in Guatemala Today" For Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchú Tum, action cannot be left only to activists. That's why the Mayan rights crusader recently partnered with a businessman to open 31 medical offices in Guatemala. Each clinic provides basic medical attention to 4,500 patients monthly in a country with little access to healthcare. "Social justice is the capacity you have to do things for others," Menchú Tum said. "I believe in living solidarity, something good that you do to uplift those around you." Menchú Tum addressed a packed crowd at Saint Mary's College of California on Nov. 18 as part of the Social Justice Speakers Series, sponsored by the Bishop Cummins Institute for Catholic Thought, Culture, and Action. She is perhaps best known for her autobiography, I, Rigoberta Menchú: An Indian Woman in Guatemala, which was written when she was 23 and spoke of atrocities committed by the Guatemalan army in peasant villages during the civil war. In 1992, at age 33, she was the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize and she continues to be an outspoken advocate for human rights. Menchú Tum admits that change in her native country is not easy: even with peace accords signed eight years ago, the country that was in civil war for decades remains divided. She sees Guatemala in a state of "prolonged genocide" because of remaining corruption, and continues to look for the truth about many murders committed there, including that of her friend, Catholic activist Archbishop Oscar Romero.
