Today, there millions of Maya living in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Many of them still speak a modern-day version of the Mayan language and even more of them still practice the Mayan religion (See Popol Vuh for the text of their "bible"). They are more than just the indigenous peoples of Mexico but, the Federal government there does not treat them well, in my opinion. Their heritage should allow them to be treated as more than the way they're treated as second class citizens. Of course, there were a lot more Maya when they ruled the area; the society as a whole is thought to have diminished when the food supply dwindled and the majority left the major population centers.
