Summary:The purpose of this chapter is to give a voice to those directly affected by the Chixoy Dam and Río Negro Massacres, as well as those who work closely with the victims. Through my analysis of interviews, observations, and participation in meetings, I identified three key themes that illuminate the perceived impacts of the Chixoy Hydroelectric Dam on the former residents of Río Negro.

In order to better describe these broad topics, I recognized subthemes, which allow for a more detailed account.
