=**Welcome to Mayan Info** =

From the dawn of their civilization nearly 4,000 years ago, the Mayan culture has been adapting and evolving. It is one of the oldest, most diverse, and most dynamic cultures in all of North America. The Mayan culture is of particular interest to North American anthropologists because of the vast spectrum of characteristics and roles their culture has played in both ancient and contemporary society. This wiki page, drawing on information gathered from anthropological journals and sources, covers various interdisciplinary aspects of the Mayan culture from an anthropological perspective, including history, environmental issues, language, and more. media type="custom" key="9008944" width="223" height="223" align="right" include component="pageList" hideInternal="true" tag="location" limit="10" include component="pageList" hideInternal="true" tag="language" limit="10" include component="pageList" hideInternal="true" tag="tradition" limit="10" include component="pageList" hideInternal="true" tag="political" limit="10" include component="pageList" hideInternal="true" tag="family structure" limit="10" include component="pageList" hideInternal="true" tag="gender" limit="10" include component="pageList" hideInternal="true" tag="change" limit="10" include component="pageList" hideInternal="true" tag="colonialism" limit="10" include component="pageList" hideInternal="true" tag="globalization" limit="10" include component="pageList" hideInternal="true" tag="environmental" limit="10" include component="pageList" hideInternal="true" tag="calendar" limit="10" include component="pageList" hideInternal="true" tag="bibliography"

This wikispace is the product of work done by Gettysburg College students Cait Kratz, Kathryn Bucolo, Chris Carter, Rebecca Taormina, Jessie Pierce, and Anh Nguyen as we compiled a fairly comprehensive resource on the cultural customs and traditions of the Mayan people of Central America.
