Village Elder Says Reinstating Previous Alcalde Means No Advancement

Indian Creek has a population of around fifteen hundred residents, and today’s meeting had less than a hundred persons in attendance. In no way did it reflect a majority position, based on numbers, but Cholom assured that they have the support of the masses. Considering the possibility of a court ruling in favour of the M.L.A., one of the elders, Miguel Ack, shared a likely scenario since they refuse to give up their current alcalde rulers.

 

Miguel Ack, Elder, Indian Creek Village

“(Speaking in Kek’chi Maya…we never had any issue within our Maya community to have to go to a high court. If we have any issue within the Maya, we solve it within the Maya community center. (Cheers) We can even end up killing each other if we continue with the MLA division. Now is the time to make a decision and resolve the matter. Now, the current, we will not change them.” (Cheers)
