We are a group of Maya Mam women from the town of Cajolá in the western highlands of Guatemala. Our group began when several of us came together to talk about common problems. We identified lack of income as our major need, and began to learn to weave on a foot loom -- many of us are accustomed to weaving on the backstrap loom -- and to sew with the goal of creating products inspired by our own textiles but to sell in the United States. We also want to continue the ancient tradition of weaving the wisdom of our ancestors into our textiles, now to share with others. 

And thus was born MayaMam.
