Buen Vivir, Sumak Kawsay, Sacbé (Well Being), are concepts used to define the ideal state of Indigenous communities in Mezo America, the Andes, and the Amazon. Sacbé: El Camino al Buen Vivir takes an environmental/health humanities approach to understand how Maya communities in the Yucatán Peninsula in southern Mexico represent issues of environmental and health via situated knowledge (of the forest), traditional medicine, food, and cultural practices.
