The forty-two stories presented in this book were told to Robert
Laughlin in Tzotzil by Francisca Hernandez Hernandez, an elderly
woman known as Dona Pancha, the only speaker of Tzotzil left in the
village of San Felipe Ecatepec in Chiapas, Mexico. Laughlin and
Dona Pancha's running conversation is the source for the stories,
which means they are told in much the same way that stories are
told in traditional native settings. Dona Pancha is bilingual in
Tzotzil and Spanish, and the stories are presented here in English,
Tzotzil, and Spanish. They range from mythological sacred stories
to quasi-historical legends to historical accounts of life in the
twentieth century."
