Description:		Lacandon Cultural Heritage is a documentation of the language and culture of the northern Lacandon(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 Lacandon 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.

		Koh III and Chanuk, the daughter of Koh's co-wife, Koh IV, talk about traditional Lacandon marriage protocol.
		Northern Lacandon is used in this session, its role being the main language of conversation.
		Koh III is Chan K'in Viejo's third wife, and eldest living wife. She is the head of the household, perhaps by virtue of her seniority. She has borne many children, all of whom are now adults and have long since moved out of the family household. She is adored by Koh IV's grandchild, Alejandro.
		Chanuk is one of Chan K'in's daughters and the daughter of Chan K'in's third wife, Koh III. She was born in Naha and has lived there all her life. She still ives at home, as do most Lacandon girls before they marry (typically, at 14 years of age). She lives in a tradiitional household with more than mother and, her unmarried siblings, and young neice and nephew. She has helped with the transcription and translation of the text of this performance.
