Una propuesta para la restauración en arquitectura Maya basada en los derechos humanos May Castillo, Manuel Arquitectura Maya Patrimonio Derechos Indígenas Articulo de Investigacón Indigenous Peoples Mayan Architecture Heritage and Rights Reserch Paper This article outlines a proposal concerning the intervention and restoration of a Mayan monument, the Nuukuch Ich tower, from a participatory, community-based and Indigenous Peoples’ rights-based approach. Because of its distinctive architectural features, the Nuukuch Ich tower represents an emblematic case in the entire Maya region. Over the past two centuries, this monument has seized the attention of travelers, explorers, and the international scientific community. Despite its historical and artistic value, the archaeological site where the tower is located is dramatically being destroyed by the industrialized cultivation of transgenic crops. It is therefore urgent and necessary to take concrete actions for its conservation and safeguarding. This proposal is an initiative promoted by Mayan communities and organizations, and promotes the use of decolonizing methodologies. At the same time, it proposes a paradigmatic shift in Indigenous heritage research, which implies the necessary obtaining of the Free, Prior and Informed Consent. Este artículo desarrolla una propuesta de intervención y restauración de un monumento Maya, la torre Nuukuch Ich, desde un enfoque participativo, de base comunitaria y basado en los derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas. Por sus características arquitectónicas y artísticas singulares, la torre Nuukuch Ich representa un caso emblemático en toda la región Maya. En los últimos dos siglos, este monumento ha capturado la atención de viajeros, exploradores y de la comunidad científica a nivel internacional. A pesar de su valor histórico y artístico, el emplazamiento donde se localiza la torre se encuentra en proceso de destrucción paulatina debido al cultivo industrializado de transgénicos. Por ello es urgente y necesario tomar acciones concretas para su conservación y salvaguardia. Siendo una iniciativa generada y promovida por comunidades y organizaciones mayas, esta propuesta de intervención promueve el uso de metodologías descolonizadoras al mismo tiempo que propone un cambio de paradigma en las investigaciones sobre el patrimonio indígena, que implica la necesaria obtención del Consentimiento Libre, Previo e Informado.
