| Description | The description that our participant gives is of the river Tchinich A’, they call it. People come to the river to go to wash their nixtamal (lime-treated corn) or clothes. There are times when the river grows when there is rain. When a person passes in the early morning, they hear people walk on the river, people of great stature. What happens is that there are three things that take care of the river, that is what we are going to be told in this work. |
