What We Do

Through an innovative and indigenous-led model, CMPI and the Q’anjob’al Maya leadership support the estimated 5,000 Q’anjob’al Maya living in Omaha, NE and the estimated 10,000 living in rural Nebraska. CMPI’s mission is to improve the health and well-being of Mayan people through community development strategies in Nebraska and Q’anjob’al Maya territory consistent with the Q’anjob’al Maya system of social organization and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. With our regenerative agriculture, health, arts, education, domestic violence, financial empowerment, and human rights programs, CMPI envisions contributing to the social, cultural and economic vitality of the wider society we live in.
