Description: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.
This file was generated from an IMDI 1.9 file and transformed to IMDI 3.0. The substructure of Genre is replaced by two elements named "Genre" and "SubGenre". The original content of Genre substructure was: Interactional = 'interview', Discursive = 'explanation', Performance = 'historical-narrative'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
Lacandón is the language used in the verbal task. Spanish is used to explain the content of verbal events and add information on the content, its source and other information relevant to the verbal task. It is also used as the language of translation.
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.
