Rigoberta Menchú was born to a poor indigenous family of K'iche' Maya descent in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laj_Chimel" title="Laj Chimel" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Laj Chimel</a>, a peasant hamlet in the north-central Guatemalan province of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quich%C3%A9_Department" title="Quiché Department" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">El Quiché</a>. Menchú received a primary- and middle-school education as a student at several Catholic boarding schools. In 1981, Menchú was exiled and escaped to Mexico. She found refuge in the home of a Catholic bishop in Chiapas. In 1995, Menchú married Ángel Canil, a Guatemalan. They have a son, Mash Nahual J’a ("Spirit of Water").<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-1" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[1]</a>

After leaving school, Menchú worked as an activist campaigning against <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights" title="Human rights" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">human rights</a> violations committed by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemalan_armed_forces" class="mw-redirect" title="Guatemalan armed forces" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Guatemalan armed forces</a> during the country's civil war, which lasted from 1960 to 1996. In 1979-80 her brother Petrocinio and her mother Juana were kidnapped, tortured and murdered by the Guatemalan army. Her father Vicente died in the 1980 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_of_the_Spanish_Embassy" title="Burning of the Spanish Embassy" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Burning of the Spanish Embassy</a>, which occurred after urban guerrillas took hostages and were attacked by government security forces. In 1984 her brother Victor was shot to death after he surrendered to the army, was threatened by soldiers, and tried to escape.

While in exile in Mexico, Menchú continued to organize resistance to oppression in Guatemala and the struggle for Indian rights by co-founding the United Republic of Guatemalan Opposition. Tens of thousands of people, mostly Mayan Indians, fled to Mexico from 1982 to 1984 at the height of Guatemala's 36-year civil war.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-2" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[2]</a>

In 1982, she narrated a book about her life to Venezuelan author and anthropologist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Burgos" class="mw-redirect" title="Elizabeth Burgos" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Elizabeth Burgos</a>, Me llamo Rigoberta Menchú y así me nació la conciencia (My Name is Rigoberta Menchú and this is how my Conscience was Born), which was translated into five other languages including English and French. The book made her an international icon at the time of the ongoing conflict in Guatemala.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-nobel-3" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[3]</a>

Since the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemalan_Civil_War" title="Guatemalan Civil War" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Guatemalan Civil War</a> ended, Menchú has campaigned to have members of the Guatemalan political and military establishment tried in Spanish courts. In 1999 she filed a complaint before a court in Spain because prosecutions of crimes committed during the civil war are practically impossible in Guatemala. These attempts stalled as the Spanish courts determined that the plaintiffs had not yet exhausted all possibility of seeking justice through the legal system of Guatemala.[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>]

On 23 December 2006, Spain called for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extradition" title="Extradition" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">extradition</a> from Guatemala of seven former members of Guatemala's government on charges of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide" title="Genocide" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">genocide</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture" title="Torture" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">torture</a>. These include former military rulers <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efra%C3%ADn_R%C3%ADos_Montt" title="Efraín Ríos Montt" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Efraín Ríos Montt</a>and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%93scar_Humberto_Mej%C3%ADa_Victores" class="mw-redirect" title="Óscar Humberto Mejía Victores" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Óscar Mejía</a>. Spain's highest court ruled that cases of genocide committed abroad could be judged in Spain, even if no Spanish citizens have been involved. In addition to the deaths of Spanish citizens, the most serious charges include genocide against the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Maya people" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Maya people</a> of Guatemala.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-4" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[4]</a>

In January 2015, a Guatemalan court convicted the commander of a former police investigations unit of murder, attempted murder and crimes against humanity for his role in the embassy attack, in which Menchú's father died.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-5" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[5]</a>

Menchú has become involved in the Indian <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmaceutical" class="mw-redirect" title="Pharmaceutical" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">pharmaceutical</a> industry as president of "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Salud_para_Todos&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Salud para Todos (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background: none;">Salud para Todos</a>" ("Health for All") and the company "Farmacias Similares", with the goal of offering low-cost <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_medicine" class="mw-redirect" title="Generic medicine" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">generic medicines</a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-all-6" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[6]</a>She served as presidential goodwill ambassador for the 1996 peace accords.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-all-6" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[6]</a> That same year she received the Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience Award in Boston.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-7" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[7]</a>

In 2006, Menchú was one of the founders of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Women%27s_Initiative" title="Nobel Women's Initiative" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Nobel Women's Initiative</a> along with sister Nobel Peace Laureates <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jody_Williams" title="Jody Williams" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Jody Williams</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirin_Ebadi" title="Shirin Ebadi" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Shirin Ebadi</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wangari_Maathai" title="Wangari Maathai" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Wangari Maathai</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Williams_(Nobel_laureate)" title="Betty Williams (Nobel laureate)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Betty Williams</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mairead_Corrigan_Maguire" class="mw-redirect" title="Mairead Corrigan Maguire" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Mairead Corrigan Maguire</a>. Six women representing North America and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa decided to bring together their experiences in a united effort for peace with justice and equality. It is the goal of the Nobel Women's Initiative to help strengthen work being done in support of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_rights" title="Women's rights" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">women's rights</a> around the world.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-8" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[8]</a>

On 12 February 2007, Menchú announced that she would form an indigenous political party called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encuentro_por_Guatemala" title="Encuentro por Guatemala" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Encuentro por Guatemala</a> and that she would stand in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemalan_general_election,_2007" title="Guatemalan general election, 2007" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">2007 presidential election</a>.

More than a decade after the publication of I, Rigoberta Menchú, anthropologist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Stoll" title="David Stoll" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">David Stoll</a> carried out an investigation of Menchú's story, researching government documents, reports, and land claims (many filed by Menchú's own family), and interviewing former neighbors, locals, friends, enemies, and others for his 1999 book Rigoberta Menchú and the Story of All Poor Guatemalans.

Stoll claimed Menchú changed some elements of her life, family and village to meet the publicity needs of the guerrilla movement, which she joined as a political comadre after her parents were assassinated. The controversy caused by Stoll's book received widespread coverage in the US press of the time.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-16" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[16]</a>

Historian <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Grandin" title="Greg Grandin" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Greg Grandin</a> claims Stoll's research on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemalan_revolution" class="mw-redirect" title="Guatemalan revolution" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Guatemalan revolution</a> is mostly wrong, but states that "two of Stoll's charges concerning Menchú's life do have merit".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-Grandin_It_Was_Heaven_3-17" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[17]</a>First, he documents that she received some education, contradicting a claim that her father refused to send her to school because he did not want her to lose her cultural identity. Second, Stoll presents evidence that Menchú falsely placed herself at the scene of her 16-year-old brother's murder.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-Grandin_It_Was_Heaven-18" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[18]</a> According to Grandin, Stoll in a later interview agreed to the "essential factuality of Menchú's account of how her brother and mother died".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-Grandin_It_Was_Heaven_3-17" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[17]</a>

In her own critique of Stoll's work, titled The Silencing of Maya Women from Mama Maquin to Rigoberta Menchu, anthropologist Victoria Sanford highlights inaccuracies in Stoll's book, and claims that he used highly questionable sources as research informants.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-19" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[19]</a>

The Nobel Committee dismissed calls to revoke her Nobel Prize because of the falsifications reported by Stoll. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geir_Lundestad" title="Geir Lundestad" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Geir Lundestad</a>, the secretary of the Committee, said her prize "was not based exclusively or primarily on the autobiography".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-nobel-3" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[3]</a> According to the Nobel Committee, "Stoll approves of her Nobel prize and has no question about the picture of army atrocities which she presents. He says that her purpose in telling her story the way she did 'enabled her to focus international condemnation on an institution that deserved it, the Guatemalan army."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoberta_Mench%C3%BA#cite_note-nobel-3" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">[3]</a>
