The director of Chichen Itza out!
- That is what the indigenous community of Chichen Iza is claiming these days. Marco Antonio Santos Ramírez has been director of the archaeological area since 2014, but the indigenous people have requested his resignation.
Santos believes that it does not allow artisans to sell their works, that it prevents tour guides from entering the area and that farmers cannot cultivate the lands that have historically belonged to them. In addition, there are recordings of Santos who speak with contempt about the indigenous and who prohibit them from speaking of Maya.
INAH has listened to the requests of the indigenous people, but has not yet responded. Mexico’s most successful archaeological area, with 2.5 million visitors in 2022, is failing in its relations with the local community.
