Part 1 of Hecho a Mano (The Traditional Clothing of San Juan Atitan)

[tzolol]

Great video. It's sad how some people are still ashamed of their Indigenous culture. If you are Maya, you should not be ashamed, you ARE the original people and culture of the land.  Who cares what people from some foreign culture think. The guy at the end was funny.

Does anyone know of an online site where I could purchase typical hand woven materials like blankets or bedspreads etc? I can't find any and on Ebay they take advantage of Americans by selling some blankets each at over $100 when I know that in Guatemala the most that one could cost is $10. ¿Alguien conoce de alguna tienda en linea donde pueda comprar telas típicas? No encuentro ninguna y algunas personas estan vendiendo cada sabana en ebay a mas de $100 cuando sé que en guate no cuesta tanto.

Grandioso, felicidades por el video y ojala que las costumbres tradicionales nunca se pierdan en Guatemala, es tan valioso un pais en donde se tenga tantas tradiciones y seria tragico el perder algo tan lindo, espero que les sigan inculcando valores a las futuras generaciones para que con orgullo representen a Guatemala!

I'm glad you liked the film. I would be interested to know about any new developments in Atitlan. Thank you.

... a wonderful film, I very much appreciate watching it. I live in Santiago Atiltlan. I would like to make films myself here. I've done some filming but not as much as I'd like to.

Thank you very much.
