Beautiful and haunting, the images in this photographic chronicle
represent 10 years among the Lacandon Mayans in the southern Mexican
state of Chiapas. What results is an intimate portrait that illuminates
very essence of the Hach Winik, or "Real People," a tribe struggling to
preserve their culture as the modern world encroaches. Also included is
the short story "Pastor Dowe at Tacaté," by Paul Bowles, which describes
the experiences of an American missionary in a small Lacandon town.
