Description:KGP was asked by the collector's to narrate some traditional Lacandón stories that he remembered. Recording conditions were fair, the light levels were particularly poor. His brother was present during the recording, along with the collectors, Cook and Carlson.
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.

KGP was asked by the collector's to narrate some traditional Lacandón stories that he remembered. This story was his choice, and one of his favorites. Our interest is in collecting tradtioanl Lacandón stories; but also, to collect stories from a variety of members of different ages and genders.
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 Lacandones who can read and write Lacandón and Spanish. He helped Cook and Carlson with transcriptions and translations of some texts during the summer of 2000.
Suzanne Cook and Barry Carlson elicited the narration, and were present during the recording and visible to the narrator.
