The author participated in a literature creation class that was held in March and April of 2007. He won first prize for his piece in Tojol-ab’al in the Bolom contest organized yearly by the State Center for Language Arts and Indigenous Literature (CELALI). The story is written in Tojol-ab’al with a translation in Spanish. The theme is ja jwawtik k’e’eni’ which deals with sacred places.
