Exodus
They would rather die in Mexico than return to Guatemala
10 days, he says, and often supplies are brought in by
dugout canoes instead of planes.
It was not without some resistance from the Mex
ican government, Spector says, that he and his "part
ner,” Stephen Stout, managed, during their two
months in the Lacondon, to shuttle in gardening
tools, seeds, wheat for the traditional Easter flat
breads, and healing herbs.
And why does the Mexican government resist in
ternational assistance?
Spector says the government is itself racist and
does not want the refugees to "get too comfortable
there." This is particularly disappointing in Mexico's
case, Spector says, because as a member of the Con
tadora group, Mexico has positioned itself as, if not a
champion of liberation groups, at least as an impar
tial mediator.
And yet, supplies do get through. In March, Spec
tor participated in a project called "Weaving
Together," where $2,000 worth of weaving materials
were flown into Puerto Rico. Most was high cotton
thread which the weavers had been used to working
with in Guatemala.
The project has two benefits, it allows weavers to
help support their families by enabling them to pro
duce and market in Canada and the U.S. "the
beautiful pieces that are their hallmark, and perhaps
most important of all, it will help the people to main
tain their tradition and culture," Spector says.
Eugene's own Guatemalan Refugee Alliance Con
sciously Involved in Action and Service (GRACIAS),
sold Mayan refugee weavings during last weekend's
"Fiesta De La Paz."
Slide shows, film
slated for tonight
Two slide shows and a film about Mayan In
dians from Guatemala will be shown at the
Wesley Center, 1236 Kincaid Street, beginning
at 7:30 p.m.
Native Guatemalan textiles will be on display
as well.
The film, "Adios Guatemala," was taken in
one of the refugee camps in Mexico this Spr
ing, and was produced by a group in San
Cristobel Cargua. Tonight's showing of the
film, which runs for 22 minutes, will be its
fcugene premiere.
A slide show produced by Dave Beers on
Guatemalan refugee camps in Mexico will be
Presented by Ron Spector, a Canadian her
alist who spent this past March and April
visiting the camps in in the Chiapas region.
The photographs for the second slide show,
which considers the daily life of Guatemalan
Indians, were taken in 1975.
The event is sponsored by the Guatemalan
Refugee Alliance Consciously Involved in Ac
tion and Service.
The event is free, but donations will be ac
cepted, says GRACIAS spokesperson Mitzi
Linn.
Resignation with Dignity
Spector says modern-day Mayans are exactly that
— modern. While practicing some primitive ways,
they are not primitive.
What Spector found in Puerto Rico was a people
both separate and distinct from modern society.
There was the air strip, and the commission of seven
representatives who spoke fluent Spanish, and the
four "promoters of health" who ran the clinic.
The refugees had a strong sense of cooperation.
When tools were flown in, they were put directly into
a communal tool shed.
Most impressive to Spector, though, were the peo
ple themselves. He says they were not bitter about
what the Guatemalan government had done and
continues to do to them. They accept the fate that
has befallen them — " we are not guerrillas," they
say, "guerrillas stay and fight" — but they are eager
to pick up the pieces and begin again. Spector calls it
"resignation with dignity."
