Description:This session focuses on the state-run public school in the village. Inside a Lacandon teaches the children the Lacandon alphabet.
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.
Lacandon is the only language spoken in this session.
KGP is th emain contributor in this session, although the children interact with him and eachother. The collector is present but is neither seen or heard on camera.
The collector of this session data is also responsbile for the collection of all of the data sessions and the whole project.
KGP is the second youngest son of CK and KM. He was born in the community of Naha and has lived there all his life. He is one of a few northern Lacandóns who can read and write Lacandón and Spanish. He began working on the current project with Cook and Carlson in 2000.
