Tum was named a Nobel Laureate in 1992 for her work for social justice and ethnocultural reconciliation based on respect for the rights of indigenous peoples. During the 1980s, she took on a leadership role in the Committee of the Peasant Union and was involved in a strike the CUC organized for better conditions for farm workers on the Pacific coast. She joined the radical 31st of January Popular Front, helping to educate the Indian peasant population in resistance to massive military oppression. While in exile in Guatemala, Tum helped to found the United Representation of the Guatemalan Opposition. Her advocacy work for Indian rights has earned her several international awards. </FONT></SPAN></P>
