"The Annals of the Cakchiquels" by Francisco Hernández Arana Xajilá is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This document is a significant record of the history, mythology, and linguistics of the Cakchiquel people, who were part of a prominent indigenous civilization in Central America, specifically Guatemala. The book aims to preserve the tribal history as narrated by a member of the ruling family, depicting their cultural heritage before heavy European influences. The opening of "The Annals of the Cakchiquels" sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the Cakchiquel civilization, outlining its geographic and cultural context. It introduces the Cakchiquels as an advanced society engaged in agriculture, religion, and politics, with intricate social structures and governance. The text begins with an overview of their ethnohistoric position, details regarding their language, agriculture, and military traditions, and hints at impending conflicts, particularly with the Spanish conquerors. The author emphasizes the significance of the annals in chronicling the indigenous narrative and shares insights into their system of governance and rich cultural practices.
