Description:		BM narrates Frog Where Are You, Mercer-Mayer's picture book, for the collectors. The purpose of this session is to compare the narrative skills of older and younger bilingual speakers in Naha.
		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 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.
		BM was asked to narrate Frog Where Are You, for the collectors. He is one of many speakers asked to do this. A Spanish version of the same story is found in Frogstory_sp_BM.mpg.
		Lacandon is the language used in this session. Spanish is used at the beginning to explain the task.
		BM is the only contributor in this session. The collector was the only other person present.
		BM was born and raised in Naha. His father is CK and his mother, KM. He is married and has two sons. The youngest still lives at home.
		The collector of this session data is also responsbile for the collection of all of the data sessions and the whole project.
