Indians Driven From Guatemalan Highlands Seek New Lives
In Guatemala hundreds of thousands of indigenous peasants have been uprooted by guerrilla warfare and now live in army camps or urban settlements far from their native highland homes. Rights groups say up to a million have been displaced since the late 1970s, with tens of thousands in Mexican exile.
