"I believe that in Guatemala the solution is not confrontation between Indigenous people and Latinos. Rather, we need a country where we can live together with mutual respect." - Menchú, 1993

Rigoberta has made an impression on the world that will last forever. She is still living today at the age of forty-nine and is still campaigning the rights of the Indigenous. In 2007, she ran for president of Guatemala, but unfortunately only received 3% of the vote. Nonetheless, her name will be remembered and commemorated for all of her work towards the equality of her people and those around them, and hopefully people will follow in her footsteps to create equality for everyone.
