There is currently a significant disagreement among the indigenous groups of Quintana Roo, Campeche, and Yucatan. The Mayan councils of these states are contending for recognition as legitimate representatives of their people.
The Maya Train, a specific circuit route, could potentially unite these Mayan councils and enhance their cohesion as an indigenous community. Quintana Roo is the heart of this circuit, and the hope is that future generations will continue to strengthen these connections.
Politics and religion have been identified as factors contributing to the disunity within the Mayan community of the peninsula.
In addition, recent discoveries of more Pre-Hispanic artifacts along the Maya Train route have been highlighted. These finds could help the community to increase awareness about the value and richness of their civilization's past, which has been somewhat forgotten in recent years.
Emphasizing the importance of understanding and appreciating one's roots is seen as crucial. It is believed that by providing support in this area, future generations will be more likely to value and preserve their cultural heritage.
