"This article begins by situating the Popol Wuj within the context of other contemporary K’iche’ texts, portions of which have only recently been published in English. This context is followed by a brief overview of the history of various translations of the Popol Wuj. The next section chronologically follows engagement with the Popol Wuj within the field of Book of Mormon studies. My ethnographic experience is then placed within this chronological narrative, as well as within the context of local developments in Guatemala. The narrative then returns to a chronology of engagements with the Popol Wuj within Book of Mormon studies, with an emphasis on the erosion of historical claims in recent years and the emergence of decolonizing perspectives that share a congruence with an emphasis on scriptural status of the Popol Wuj that I observed in Guatemala in 1993. My hope is that shifting scholarly analysis away from how Indigenous narratives might substantiate or challenge the historicity of the Book of Mormon to how shared claims to extracanonical scripture might validate both Mormon and Native sacred traditions can help illuminate Indigenous experiences more generally within a globalizing religious tradition."
