GUATEMALA CITY --
Mayan priests will purify a sacred archaeological site
to eliminate "bad spirits" after President Bush visits
next week, an official with close ties to the group said Thursday.
"That a person like (Bush),
with the persecution of our migrant brothers in the
United States, with the wars he has provoked, is
going to walk in our sacred lands, is an offense for
the Mayan people and their culture,"
Juan Tiney,
the director of a Mayan nongovernmental organization with close ties to Mayan religious and political leaders, said Thursday.
Bush's seven-day tour of Latin America includes
a stopover beginning late Sunday in Guatemala .
