Description:		JK narrates the story about Wan T'ut' K'in, a dangerous character in Lacandon lore. This story was requested by CNK.
		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.
		JK narrates the story about Wan T'ut' K'in, a dangerous character in Lacandon lore. This story was requested by one of the listeners, CNK.
		Lacandon is the only language spoken in this session.
		JK is the principle speaker in this session. KM, KP, and CNK can be heard participating in the speech event . KMJKBr is present but does not participate in the session. The collector is present, but can neither be seen nor heard on camera.

		KM is CK Viejo's third and eldest living wife. She is the head of the household, by virtue of her seniority. She has borne ten children, all of whom are now adults and have long since moved out of the family household. She is adored by KP's grandchild, Lej. She has never left the village, except for the occasional trips to other surrounding villages, and the larger towns of Ocosingo and San Cristobal.
