Description:		CK sings a song about his wife as she makes tortillas. The session is part of a larger sequence shot on 16mm, which was to be incorporated into a documentary.
		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.

		CK Viejo sings a song about his wife as she makes tortillas. The session is part of a larger sequence shot on 16mm, which was to be incorporated into a documentary. The song was spontaneous, unprompted by me or my colleagues. The session is included in the corpus for its value as a Lacandón song. Even though it isn not traditional in the cultural sense, it is nevertheless illustrative of the genre.
		Lacandón is the only language used in this session.
		CK Viejo is the only particpant in this session, although his two wives are working in the background.
		CK Viejo is the most respected elder in the Lacandón community. He has been the t'o'ohil "traditional Maya civic and religious leader" for over six decades. He has had four wives, two of women are still living, and a multitude of children from each. As the ultimate authority on Lacandón traditions and ritual, CK Viejo provides several texts in this corpus, which were recorded before his death in 1996.
