    About The Annals of the Cakchiquels

    "The Annals of the Cakchiquels" by Francisco Hernández Arana Xajilá is a manuscript written in Kaqchikel beginning in 1571 and completed in 1604. This chronicle blends mythology and history, tracing the Kaqchikel Maya people from their legendary origins at Tulan through migrations, conquests, and the founding of their capital Iximché. It concludes with a sobering firsthand account of the Spanish Conquest—a native perspective of Guatemala's fall from the viewpoint of the vanquished.
