| Description: | SK and KM make dye. | |
| 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 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. | ||
| KM andSK make dyes in the traditional Lacandon manner. This was requested by the collector. KM chars the leaves of a plant used to make purple dye. She is asked to describe what she is doing and why. She and SK then go out to cut a certain root used to make yellow dye. There is some dialogue between the two during this event. KM then prepares the root by grating it. SK is seen swirlingit around in a glass of waters. They both return indoors where SK scrapes a type of stone used to make brown dye. He procedes to make black dye by mixing soot from the stove pipe and hearth with water. The session culminates with the lining up of the various glasses of liquid dyes. | ||
| Lacandon is themain language spoken in this session. SK and the collectors can be heard speaking Spanish. | ||
| SK and KM participate in this session. There are othjer family members present during therecording, but they do not take part in the event.
