Title: Indigenous Maya Women Speak Mam Next To A Roman Catholic Church In Rural Hueheuetenango
Date: 1982-09-01
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: Indigenous Maya women speak Mam as they sit next to a Roman Catholic church in rural Huehuetenango, Guatemala, September 1, 1982.

In the following centuries, forced conversion and other methods to indoctrinate indigenous communities into the Roman Catholic Church produced a syncretism of Catholicism and native Maya traditions.

Title: Memorial Service For U.S. Churchwomen Killings
Date: 1983-12-02
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: An unidentified member of the United States clergy offers communion on the third anniversary of the killing of four U.S. churchwomen in La Libertad, El Salvador, December 2, 1983. On December 2, 1980, Maryknoll sisters Maura Clarke and Ita Ford, Ursuline nun Dorothy Kazel, and lay missionary Jean Donovan were abducted, sexually abused, and executed near the airport in San Salvador by soldiers of the National Guard. The case figured prominently in debate in the United States Congress over whether El Salvador should continue to receive military aid. Several Salvadoran military officials, including then-head of the National Guard General Carlos Eugenio Vides Casanova and then-Minister of Defense General José Guillermo García, were later found to have “assisted or otherwise participated in” attempts to cover up the killings.
