Ixquisis Uprising

The Ixquisis Uprising is an ongoing indigenist uprising in northern Guatemala that began in 2017.
== Background ==
Indigenous people in Guatemala have been subject to hundreds of years of discrimination, slavery and massacres. Their culture and land was taken to serve colonial interests of Spain. During the Guatemalan Civil War, indigenous people were subject to frequent massacres and indigenous women were frequently raped by soldiers. Since then, indigenous Guatemalans have faced racism, poverty and police brutality. The proposed construction of five hydroelectric dams without indigenous which would damage local ecosystems caused widespread outrage.
