Abstract: This article centers two "zones of sovereignty" that Maya Chuj youth organizers and educators in Guatemala and the United States created from within and across nation‐states and settler colonial projects. It highlights how these spaces supported Chuj young people and educators as they navigated and (re)imagined relationality and belonging across transnational and diaspora spaces in ways that refused and challenged settler colonial and imperialist nation‐state logics and boundaries.
