History

Rio Negro is a very remote Maya Achi village tucked away in the mountains of Baja Verapaz, Guatemala. In the early 1980's, Rio Negro residents suffered 5 massacres. Half of the people of the village were murdered in cold blood.  Survivors hid in the mountains for years, and the village became a ghost town.  They eventually were relocated to a government housing project named Pacux (pronounced "Pa Koosh").   In 1991, a few brave families moved back to rebuild Rio Negro.  Many stayed in Pacux and struggle daily to survive.
