The rise of a pan-Maya identity was one of the factors that led to the genocidal policies against the Maya Indians in Guatemala. The Guatemalan government saw this identity as a threat to their power and sought to eradicate it by targeting Maya communities and individuals. There was also a deliberate policy of forced assimilation, where the government attempted to erase indigenous culture and identity. However, there was not complete extermination of Maya Indians, although many were killed or forced to flee their homes. The emergence of a new policy of mestizaje, or the mixing of indigenous and non-indigenous cultures, was not a factor in the genocidal policies.
