During the transition to the democracy in Guatemala an indigenous movement arose with vindications that were beyond the merly defense of the considered individually human rights. Facing the genocide, one of its more ambitious demands was the one of the recognition of the Mayan right. This analysis will allow to characterize the indigenous movement like an emancipatory multiculturalism, since itself is a bet to the intercultural dialogue and it is implied not only as a limit opposed to the state power abuse but to the one of the private sector tied to the neoliberal flow which defies the etnocentric notion of the private and individual property of the earth.

Keywords : Guatemala; Mayan organizations; consetudinary right; intercultural dialogue; earth.
