Description:		This ritual by the tree was shot on 16mm and converted todigital tape. It representas an exampel of one of many Lacandon rituals offerings; this one being performed by Antonio Marftinez in the forest near the community. Lighting is fairly poor due to the thick forest canopy and the time of day.
		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.

		This ritual by the tree was shot on 16mm and converted to digital tape. It representas an example of one of many Lacandon rituals offerings; this one being performed by Antonio Marftinez in the forest near the community. Although the ritual was prompted by me, the choice of ritual was chosen by Antonio.
		Lacandon is the only language used in this session.
		Antonio was the only participant in this session. He is an elder in the community of Naha. He is respected for his knowledge of traditional Lacandon culture, and his knowledge of the traditional stories and ceremonial formulae. He is one of the few Lacandones who still practice the ancient Maya rituals. He is related to Chan K'in viejo and his family by marriage. Antonio provides the bulk of the traditional rituals and stories for this corpus.
