Major Actions

• Advocated for Indigenous rights, social justice, and reconciliation during and after Guatemala's civil conflict and received the Nobel Peace Prize.
• Expanded the public record around indigenous rights and social justice.

Controversies

• Debates over testimonial details require care without erasing documented state violence or the collective Indigenous movement her advocacy amplified.
• Eracii separates documented impact from sainthood: movements are collective, internally debated, and larger than any one card.

Card Notes

• Ratings are bounded Eracii mechanics, not objective measures of courage, suffering, or moral worth.
• Core arena read: indigenous rights and social justice.
• The Rights Era treats liberation as collective work; each portrait represents a wider movement, not a lone-hero substitute for it.
