While it has been 500 years since Columbus' arrival in the Americas, the first Americans have been here much longer & now in danger of being wiped out. First, we see the systematic attempt to assimilate the first peoples of Guatemala into the majority population & disrupting their communities "looking for rebels". Then we see how drought & depopulation threaten those with roots back to the Incas.
