This is not a beauty pageant . Rabin Ajaw, meaning Daughter of the Creator, is one of the most culturally rich festivals in Guatemala.
This year more than 120 young indigenous women are competing for the title of the highest representation of indigenous women in the country.
In the video: Jannileth Mateo Juan from Huehuetenango has been elected as the 58th Rabin Ajaw, the highest woman representative of Indigenous people in Guatemala. As a national cultural ambassador, Rabin Ajaw is expected to promote Indigenous heritage and be a voice and leader for the original peoples of Guatemala.
