In Guatemala, weaving is an integral part of a Maya woman’s daily life & is an important responsibility that is passed on from generation to generatio...n. Mayans have been weaving for over 2, 000 years. Although the textiles have evolved and there have been changes in types of threads, dyes, and designs over the centuries, the basic back strap loom has changed very little.

The design of the huipil expresses cultural identity, role in society, and personal aesthetic.
