Description:		AM performs a traditional ritual to ensure a good harvest. This ritual was volunteered by AM. The ritual and the recording takes place inside his godhouse. Some wind noise and changing lighting conditions affect the overall technical quality of the recording.
		Lacandón Cultural Heritage is a documentation of the language and culture of the northern Lacandón(Maya), who live in the rain forest in Chiapas, the south-eastern state of Mexico. They number approximately 350 men, women and children, who have retained much of their traditional traditional culture and religion. The project serves as a preservative measure against loss of the traditional knowledge, stories, and verbal performances that are central to Lacandón culture. It also serves as an interactive resource tool for linguists and non-linguists to access data relevant to their areas of interest, such as folklore, ethnobotany, cultural anthropology, etc.
