		The Department of Huehuetenango borders to the north with Mexico, to the east with the Department of Quiché, to the south with the Departments of Totonicapán and San Marcos and to the west with Mexico (Map 1).
		The topography of the Department is extremely varied, with mountains of more than three thousand metres in height and lowlands down to about three hundred metres, with climates that vary according to the different altitudes in the area.
		According to the classification of Simons, Tarano and Pinto (1959), the soils of the north-western region, to which Huehuetenango belongs, were divided into five groups: mountain volcanic soils (1%), soils of the central high plateau (27%), soils of the limestone hills (60%), Petén lowland soils (11%) and the miscellaneous classes of soil (1%).

		For example, in the municipalities of Huista and in the north of the Department a yellow maize called Comiteco is grown which differs from the Tehua, and both these races of maize are abundantly present in Mexican territory.
		By analysing the genetic variety as regards the races and sub-races of maize in the Department of Huhuetenango according to the agro-ecological zones, one observes that the cold agro-ecological zone presents a greater number of races (five) and sub-races (four), while in the temperate zone, three races are recorded, as in the hot zone.
		Lastly, Huehuetenango is one of the Departments, if not the Department, that presents the greatest maize diversity in Guatemala, with 57% of the races and 33% of the sub-races recorded in the country.

	Preface: Essential aspects to be considered in this study
		The country is located in the heart of Central America, one of the centres renowned for both the origin and the diversity of its plant species, as well as for its cultural wealth due to its legacy inherited historically from the Mayas, as represented by the different ethnic groups existing in the area.
		For a long time it has been suggested that the region of Huehuetenango was the area where maize first grew, given the presence of a number of wild sub-species and the great diversity of the maize varieties in the area.
		It is equally important to recognize the direct role played by the culture in the domestication of maize; or rather, the historical role of maize in the Mayan culture and what now remains of this in the human populations of the region under consideration.

		The plan was to visit some of the largely rural departments that had experienced the most out-migration in recent years, such as Totonicapan, Huehuetenango, El Quiche, and Quetzaltenango.
		Although staying in Huehuetenango would have given me a chance to travel to other local villages, I wanted to spend at least some time in another department, to see how migration had shaped the landscape in another region, and talk to returning migrants who had left different local attachments behind.
		For several days I was able to stay in the department of Totonicapan with the Mam (indigenous) family of one of the men I had met in North Carolina.
