| Collection Descriptive Notes | On 13 December 1958 native speaker Alonso Hernandez Chen narrated 16 stories, first in Tzeltal, then in a Spanish summary. (Chen is described as being 17 years of age and a native of the paraje [locale] of Xolej (La Cañada), Tenejapa, Chiapas State, Mexico. John Vincent Baroco (who probably ran the tape recorder) subsequently transcribed the Spanish summaries (q.v.). |
