Executive summary of the report

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Pa'ch ceremony is a millenary tradition of the Mayan people, its purpose is to thank the mother earth (nature) and the sacred corn because with this the life of the people is maintained.
The main objective of safeguarding the demonstration is to preserve the cultural principles of coexistence of the human being with nature, which makes the life of people and their environment sustainable. This essence of cultural manifestation is easily blurred in the daily life of people, who see themselves alien to it even though in their privacy they maintain a ritual of gratitude to the corn for the energy and strength it gives them.
In recent history the internal armed conflict of more than 36 years is an element that must be considered since it leaves deep consequences in the free expression of the people, who in the struggle for life migrate to the United States or the capital city. This condition makes their socio-cultural dynamics stop being adequately transmitted and in the struggle to preserve their lives stop practicing this type of ceremonial, or do it secretly, in the privacy of their homes.
For this reason the inscription in the list of urgent safeguard of the ceremonial of the Pa'ch makes that a door to the private and community culture is opened, it is recognized and value the contribution of all and all the carriers of the culture, who in the silence and privacy continued to practice this ceremonial. The participation of children, youth, adults and the elderly who dance to Pachitas, as they are commonly called in San Pedro Sacatepequez San Marcos, is evidence from the elaboration of the intangible cultural heritage inventory of this ceremonial.
The Pregón manifests a risk in its transmission and permanence since only one group is doing it at present, they are older people who do not dominate their maternal language Mayan-mam. Although attempts were made to have a group that is acquiring the knowledge of the proclamation and appropriating it, it becomes a bit difficult due to the lack of identification of people with this part of the cultural manifestation.
This is based on the Popol Vuh, sacred Mayan-K'iche 'book, in which the importance of corn in the creation of the first human beings is emphasized, according to the Mayan philosophy "The meat was only from yellow corn and maize white, human legs and arms were echos only from corn dough; this was from our parents, our grandparents "Popol Vuh (SAM2011).
The candidacy of this ceremonial beginning in 2009 and concludes in 2013 when it is inscribed in the list of emergency saves. This request responds to the problem of transmission that is at risk and the condition of vunereability of the carriers of the culture is high.
Strengthening the process with local participation has been the backbone of the work generated after the cultural manifestation is registered, social conflict is a constant that has been addressed and that finally give a space to be found and built from their differences , your interests and common elements. The actions developed have initiated an action from the culture bearers who have formed working groups, achieving their leadership within these proposals.

Analyse de sa viabilité et risques auxquels il est actuellement exposé

Décrivez le degré actuel de viabilité de l'élément, en particulier la fréquence et l'étendue de sa pratique, la vigueur des modes de transmission traditionnels, la composition démographique des praticiens et des publics, et sa durabilité. Veuillez aussi identifier et décrire les facteurs qui, le cas échéant, constituent une menace pour la pérennité de la transmission et de la représentation de l'élément et indiquez le degré de gravité et de proximité de tels facteurs, en accordant une attention particulière à tout renforcement ou affaiblissement de la viabilité de l'élément suite à son inscription.

Assessment of its viability and current risks

In the Pa'ch Ceremonial, two key elements are combined, such as the pregón and the dance of the pachitas in the sense of the dance of the pachitas is followed transmitted generationally different groups have been detected that practice and transmit some from the respective of Mayan-Mam spirituality and others from the Catholic church that Religious syncretism prayers and rituals of its own.

Among the safeguard measures that the communities have developed are the celebrations at the celebrations at the family level and others registered in the Catholic Church are the case of the San Francisco Soche group, where children organized in a brotherhood the Pachitas dance one week before the 4 October, and the adults celebrate on October 4, with the participation of young people, adults and ancestors who dance the pachitas and they prepare all the elements that this ceremonial requires, likewise the group that performs the dance of the pachitas denominating San Juan del Pozo group, performs the ritual within the framework of Mayan agricultural calendar that starts with a Mayan ceremony in which communities participate Maya-Mam both from the municipality of San Pedro Sacatepéquez as places, it is organized the food and the corn seed is shared.

Likewise the group of godmothers of the group promadre maiz, perform the dance of the pachitas, the pregón is kept alive by members of the promadre group who have not managed to transmit the knowledge to their children and given their age and lack of command of their language becomes more difficult to be able to give you a solution.

Racism and discrimination have been a structural factor that leads to the loss of value of Mam Mayan culture and therefore the use of language as a vehicle for transmitting these knowledge and knowledge. Historical situation given that General Justo Rufino Barrios (1848) decrees to the population of San Pedro San Marcos as Ladino, forbidding to use the Mam Mayam language.

The strongest threats must be addressed in the transmission pregon of the proclamation in the field of language and the scope of generational transference since the group that currently maintains the demonstration despite the fact that talks of awareness and knowledge so that from them the commitment to transmit the techniques and knowledge towards their children and others has not yielded much fruit.

Another of the threats lies in the lack of funding for the reproduction of material informative so that children and boys know about the proclamation and the pregón and Pa’ch because although it is true it has been possible for the education ministry to include as part of the school curricula a special subject for teachers to impart knowledge of the pregón and the Pa’ch but not has the right material so that the information is complete.

Another threat is the dispute between local cultural organizations that seek leadership of the cultural manifestation and want to take the definitions of work without prior consultation with the bearer of the culture, and without assuming specific roles for the support of the cultural manifestation.

Paach ceremony is an ancient tradition of the Maya people, its purpose is to thank mother earth (nature) and the sacred corn because this keeps the life of the people. This is based on the Popol Vuh, the sacred book mayan-K'iche', to the same stresses the importance of corn in the creation of the first human beings, according to the Mayan philosophy. "The meat was only made of yellow maize, white maize, human legs and the arms were made only of the paste of the corn; this was our parents, our grandparents. "Popol Vuj (SAM 2011).
The candidature of this ceremonial start in the year 2009 and ends in the year 2013 when it belongs to the list of urgent safeguarding. This request responds to the problem of transmission that is at risk and vulnerability of the carriers of culture is high.
The main objective of safeguarding the demonstration is to preserve the cultural principles of coexistence of human beings with nature, which makes it sustainable life of people and their environment. This essence of the cultural manifestation fades easily in the everyday lives of the people, who are outside the same although in their privacy maintained a ritual of thanks to maize by the power and strength that gives them.
In recent history, the internal armed conflict of more than thirty-six years is one element that should be considered as it will leave deep traces in the free expression of the people, who in the struggle for life migrated to the United States or to the capital city. This condition causes the sociocultural dynamics ceases to be transmitted properly and in the struggle to preserve their life stop practicing this type of ceremonial, or do so secretly, in the privacy of their homes.
For this reason, the entry in the list of urgent safeguarding the Ceremonial of the P'aach opens a door to the private and community culture recognizes and values the contribution of all the carriers of culture, who in the silence and privacy were still practicing this ceremonial. The participation of children, youth, adults and elderly people who dance to the pachitas, as they are commonly called in San Pedro Sacatepequez, San Marcos, evidence is achieved from the development of the inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage of this ceremonial.
The Pregón is a risk of transmission and permanence given that only one group is being carried out at the moment, there are older people who do not speak their mother tongue the maya-mam. Although attempts have been made by count with a group of people who go acquiring the knowledge of the proclamation and treats the same, it becomes a little difficult by the lack of identification of persons with this part of the cultural manifestation.
Strengthen the process with the local participation has been the backbone of the work generated during the first year after registered the cultural manifestation. Social unrest is a constant that has managed to go on and that finally give a space to find and build from their differences, their interests and common elements. The actions developed have initiated an action from the carriers of culture who have shaped work tables have them achieving leadership within these proposals.

Assessment of its viability and current risks

In the Ceremonial of the P'aach combine two key elements such as The Pregón and the dance of the pachitas. In this sense the pachitas is still transmitted inter generacionalmente some from the gaze of the Mayan spirituality-mam and others from the Catholic church in a religious syncretism generates prayers and rituals, own.

Within the safeguard measures that the communities have developed are the celebrations at the family level and other registered in the actions of the Catholic church, this is the case of San Francisco Soch where girls and boys in a brotherhood organized dance the pachitas one week before the celebration of the fourth of october, and the adults will be celebrating the fourth of october participating young people, adults and the elderly, who dance the pachitas and prepare all the elements that requires this ceremonial.

In the case of San Juan del Pozo ritual is performed in the framework of the agricultural calendar maya that starts with a Mayan ceremony, in the participating communities maya-mam both the Municipality of San Pedro as elsewhere, organizes the food and shares the seed corn.

The Pregón is maintained by members of the group mother corn Pro, who have not achieved transmit their knowledge to their children, and given their age and lack of proficiency in their language becomes more difficult to meet this situation. Racism and Discrimination have been a structural factor that leads to the loss of value of the Mayan culture-mam and hence the use of language as a vehicle for transmission of these knowledge and wisdom. Historical situation given that General Justo Rufino Barrios (1848) decreed for the population of San Pedro San Marcos as ladino, prohibiting use of the maya mam language.

The strongest threats that need to be addressed is the transmission of The Pregón in mam language, this is because there is no favorable conditions for the recovery of the given language institutional interconnection that is very weak, the Academy of Mayan Languages of Maya-Mam region is Linguistic Guatemala-Comunidad develops its work without interconnect with the Ministry of Education, which in turn has the Bilingual Education Program, both institutions could be the heed the strengthening of the use of the language and therefore the learning of The Pregón.

Started with the processing of a letter of understanding with the Ministry of Culture and Sports and the Ministry of Education to children as part of the school curriculum are aware of The Pregón and motivate them so they can get by purchasing a domain name for your language and therefore of the proclamation.

Another threat is the dispute that have local cultural organizations that are looking for the leading role of the cultural manifestation and want to take the definitions of the work without prior consultation with the carrier of culture. The Ministry of Culture and the Municipality of San Pedro maintained the principle of active participation in the decision-making of the carriers of culture, which generates a social conflict that you are working on.

Objectifs et résultats

Indiquez quels objectifs principaux ont été atteints et quels résultats concrets ont été obtenus pendant la période considérée.

Objectives and results

In 2002 the Cultural Association Nan Jal (mother ear) submitted to the Ministry of Culture and Sports, the request for declaration of Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Nation of the Ceremonial of the P'Aach. In September 2009 begins the process of formulation of the candidature promoted by the cultural association Nan Jal (Mother Cob), the Ministry of Culture and Sports and with the advice of UNESCO Guatemala. It was attended with the consent of the standard-bearers of the culture committee organized in the Pro Mother Corn.
During the process (2011) were disadvantages between the carriers of culture and the Association Nan Jal, which led to remove to this organization of the accompaniment of safeguard actions. The Ministry of Culture and Sports and the Municipal Government of San Pedro Sacatepequez, maintained their accompaniment and were integrated into the process to other organizations such as the Academy of Mayan Languages and Fraternity Shecana. In December of 2013 it is included in the list of urgent safeguarding of the Intangible Heritage.
In 2014 conducted an inventory of the ceremonial, successfully identifying groups of carriers of the culture that argue the dance of the pachitas, not so The Pregón. This ceremonial requires an understanding of the measures to safeguard that has implemented the Maya people-mam, in the ceremonial ritual called the P'aach, which involves two aspects, on the one hand The Pregón and the other is the dance of the pachitas.
The first is associated with the use of the official Pregón as a tool to give thanks to the Creator the product born of the earth, this has a temporality that is interrelated with the agricultural calendar maya. The second is the dance of the pachitas that relates to the harvest and the conservation of the grain of maize landraces, which has allowed us to maintain the biodiversity of the corn in Guatemala. This ceremony is the integrity of the logic that governs the production system and the transmission of knowledge associated with this ritual.
One of the threats to this ritual are the development projects that threaten the genetic material that have been preserved Mayan communities in Guatemala. During the year 2014 is established by the law decree 19-2014 Monsanto whose objective was to ensure the exclusivity of intellectual property rights as applied to seeds. Patents granted to individuals or juridical persons national and international, of any member country of the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV), which can hijack the genetic heritage tangible and intangible. After a long struggle of the civil society represented and the primitive peoples, was repealed the law.
The pressure is maintained at the national level through projects that have been causing the promotion of the use of these materials and the sale of the product at minimum prices, delivery of agricultural inputs that affect not only the genetic material but the friendly agricultural practices with the environment that practiced by the Maya of Guatemala in the highest areas of the country.

Efficacité globale des activités de sauvegarde

Procédez à une évaluation globale de l'efficacité des activités menées pour parvenir aux résultats escomptés et de l'utilisation des fonds nécessaires à leur mise en œuvre. Veuillez indiquer de quelles manières les activités ont contribué à l’obtention des résultats et si d'autres activités auraient été mieux adaptées à cette fin. Indiquez aussi si les mêmes résultats auraient pu être obtenus avec de moindres ressources financières, si les ressources humaines disponibles étaient appropriées et si les communautés, groupes et individus concernés auraient pu participer davantage.

Overall effectiveness of the safeguarding activities

The activities carried out during the first year after registered the cultural manifestation in the list of safeguards of UNESCO's urgent, are based on the revision of the request, of the comments made by UNESCO and the socio-political reality, economic and cultural of the communities that maintains the Ceremonial of the P'Aach. This helped to draw a line of work by prioritizing actions that allowed him to build an annual work plan.

The above leads us to say that the effectiveness of the activities and the use of the funds available for the action were quite well used.

The planned activities yielded the expected results with the exception of the identification of new members of the official proclamation, the manner in which it is drawing the action is inconsistent with the methodology to apply in a natural way the maya-mam to transmit their knowledge. This and the vision to obtain profits by integrating a cultural group, leads to not achieve the expected result. For this reason, we believe that the path will be to inform, train to sensitize the population, so that the population by free decision you want to participate.

The funding that was applied to the entire activity of the first year of work comes from the sum of contributions from the bearers of the culture, their communities until the instances by mandate has the binding force. If it is necessary to establish a permanent fund for activities of safeguards by the Municipal Government of San Pedro Sacatepequez San Marcos.

B.4. Participation des communautés

Veuillez décrire comment les communautés, groupes et individus ainsi que les organisations non gouvernementales pertinentes ont été impliqués, y compris en termes de rôles liés aux genres, dans la mise à jour du plan de sauvegarde et comment ils seront impliqués dans sa mise en œuvre.

Community participation

From the declaration of the Ceremonial of the P'Aach as intangible cultural heritage of the nation in 2002, the participation of the communities is not clearly defined, the fact that it is a cultural organization that promotes the local is declaratory, leads to displace the carriers of culture in the decision-making.

The Ministry of Culture for its part is about to work with these carriers of culture up to more or less the 2007 without that its action is permanent and constant, we must make it clear that for his part, the municipal government does not assume at this stage more accompaniment for the establishment of measures to safeguard the ceremonial.

During the construction of the proposed to enroll the Ceremonial in the list of urgent safeguarding, remain the cultural organizations such as local Fraternity Shecana who bear the leadership and intermediated between the Ministry of Culture and the carriers of the ceremonial, at that time only spoke of the committee Pro Mother corn.
After the demonstration of registered in the list of urgent safeguarding, picks up the review, analysis and the implementation of the process of empowerment of the carriers of the culture those who start to draw your decision-making in the actions that are performed as part of the safeguard measures. The integral involvement of the carriers of culture it is still a challenge that will face in the year 2015. However, this participation will be ineffective if there are no interinstitutional agreement between local organizations, the municipal authorities and the institutions of central government, this now becomes a second step to resolve in 2015.

B.5. Contexte institutionnel

Support institutions are the Municipality of San Pedro Sacatepequez, San Marcos, Shecana Fraternity, the cultural association organization Comunidad Gay Sampedrana (ACSARE Renaissance.

B.6. Participation des communautés a l'etablissement du présent rapport

Décrivez les mesures qui ont été prises pour assurer la plus large participation possible des communautés, des groupes et, le cas échéant, des individus ainsi que des organisations non gouvernementales pertinentes concernés pendant la préparation du présent rapport.

Participation of communities in preparing this report

The exercise of an open tender since the beginning of the work for the implementation of safeguard measures and the comments of the UNESCO (2013), has been a constant that allows us the active participation of the carriers of culture and the participating communities.

The principle of considering the bearer of culture as the leader of the action within the work process has led to certain downs that led in some moments to mediate the situation. Highlights the first that was due to friction between the inter-agency group Pro Corn Mother and Nan Jal Group members Pro Corn Mother request to the Minister of Culture and Sports that are not allowed the entry of this organization in the work.

Given the national dynamics, you can't deny any organization which is working in the safeguarding of cultural property, in this case, it means that while Nan Jal does not address issues of specific order with the group Pro Mother Corn, if will participate by contributing ideas and suggestions to the actions that are incumbent upon as part of the organization Comunidad Gay Sampedrana (society.
The preparation of the inventory of the Ceremonial of the P'AACH, led to identify other groups of carriers of the culture of communities such as San Francisco Soch, San Juan del Pozo and other groups both within and outside of San Pedro Sacatepequez, San Marcos, who belong to the ethnic group maya-mam.

Some members of the group Mother Corn Pro, they were not in agreement with the public presentation of these other groups, which again led us to mediate between the groups of carriers of culture, who also has to be noticed are a dynamic work different from that of the Group Mother Corn Pro, as his gaze is quite community and self-sustainable.

There was a cycle of working meetings and during the month of October and December was a review of progress and fulfillment of commitments by the different institutions, in a loud voice and with documents the people established their contribution. Once was with this first exercise was the validation and extension, which as a result this report document.
