Popol Wuj & Maya Culture with Vincent Stanzione

Vincent James Stanzione is an American who has been studying Maya culture for most of his life. He has spent the last ~40 years in Guatemala living with the Maya people in the highlands near Lake Atitlan. Recently, he finished translating the Popol Wuj to English - a task that first required learning K'iche', the indigenous language it was written in. Vincent's goal is that Maya youth around the world who don't know a lot about their heritage can read the translated Popol Wuj and reconnect themselves with their culture, even if they don't speak a Maya language.
