The Communities of People in Resistance (in Spanish, known as Comunidades de Población en Resistencia, or by the acronym CPRs) were the communities uprooted by the Guatemalan Civil War (1960-1996) that were isolated in the jungles and mountains of Ixcán, in the department of El Quiché, since the early 1980s and reappeared in the public light in 1991.
