| Description | The words expressed by the participant announce the work done by the indigenous mayoral council, whom they elected. She also talks about the ladino new year, which occurs in January, while that which is ours as indigenous people is on the twentieth of February. They are called year bearers when it is only changed and rotated within the year bearers. That is how they do it in the mayoral council; they only rotate it in each other’s midst. When they are elected, those who elected them are the principal ones of the community. Those who are elected are seen as honored people, and they work for the welfare of the community, because they have good principles, she says. |
