Rigoberta Menchú Tum has received many traditional blouses, “huipil” or “güipil”, as gifts on her visits to different parts of her home country, Guatemala. Menchú Tum has fought for the rights of indigenous people in her country. They belong to the Mayan people, who speak different languages and dialects. Their blouses vary from region to region in Guatemala. This blouse is from the Maya Ixil people in the Ixil region, next to Uspantán, where Rigoberta Menchú Tum was born and grew up. She herself is Maya Quiché.
Rigoberta Menchú Tum donated the blouse to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2014. - Pristagare
