This 5 minute 19 second video introduces the viewer to four of the more than 20 Maya languages in Guatemala. Mario Chocooj is a Q'eqchi'-speaking Maya from Cobán; Felipe Rivera Caba is an Ixil-speaking Maya from Chajul; María Concepción Cuc is a Kaqchikel-speaking Maya from Solola; and and Ajpub' Pablo García is a Tz'utujil-speaking Maya from San Pablo La Laguna. Spanish and English translations follow. The video was originally created for a textile exhibition at the University of California's Hearst Museum of Anthropology, and has been subsequently displayed at several other exhibitions in the U.S. (© 2008).
