It was the various groups of people that settled in the Yucatan peninsula but weren't fully "civilized", meaning they were hunter-gatherers (nomadic) or built small villages of no more than 30 people - they were pre-Mayan. When those people began to consolidate in larger groups, they eventually built cities whit a distinctive culture which we recognize as the Mayan civilization.

Who are the native people of Honduras?
Before being discovered and conquered by the Spanish, the inhabitants were the Mayans, as the area constituting Honduras as well as Belize and Guatemala, etc were ruled by the Mayan Empire. The Mayans can be considered a Native American Civilization, like the Aztecs of Mexico. For the most part the Mayans interbred with their conquerors and much like most Latin Americans represent a blending of mixed ancestry, making them Hispanic. So, it depends how you look at it. Either the natives are (Latino/Hispanic) Hondurans or the Natives are the Mayans.
