In the Americas With David Yetman

Chiapas Highlands: Mexico's Indian Empire

Season 6, Episode 10 of 10

In the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico's southernmost state, David finds nations apart from mainstream Mexico. Populated for centuries by peoples speaking Mayan languages, they retain their customs and dress--while struggling to protect their homelands. Their towns and villages retain traditional pre- Columbian governments. They invite David to one of their annual ceremonies.
