The Story:
The Gómez Brito family belongs to the Ixil people. They live in the Guatemalan highlands, near the village of Nebaj, in a region known as the Ixil Triangle — three remote communities where one of Central America’s oldest cultures continues to hold its ground. Although Indigenous people form the majority in Guatemala, they still live with discrimination and hardship. Most survive on very little, and many work long days on distant plantations. But the Gómez Brito family has stayed together by working their own land. From first light to dusk, they gather fruit and berries, tend their fields, and care for their animals — living closely with the soil that sustains them. In 2005, I lived with them for a month to witness and share a glimpse of their everyday life.
