Description:BM narrates the story about Chak Xok 'mythical sirens', at the request of the collector.
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.
BM narrates the story about Chak Xok 'mythical sirens', at the request of the collector. Another version of this story by a different speaker can be found in ChakXok_KM
Lacandon is the only language spoken in this session.
