i am mayan my dad always influenced me to know about my culture when i was a kid sadly i was stubborn so I didn't listen Now I'm a 43 year old wishing i had listened when he was in my life
I’ve always wondered how they put their hair up like that. My beautiful culture 🇬🇹
I couldn't agree more 🇲🇽 we are now sperated by man made walls but we are brothers by culture.
Mm sorry to break the news, but that's not how it's put on. It is never to be tied. It represents the snake. Snake never tie them self in a knot. She was just put a show for Tourist. Because the guy in the back was trying to tell her that's not how it goes. But she answers. Who care. He will be amazed anyway, and maybe will buy it.
@@hijodelmaize6084 do you mind me asking, it seems like their speaking Spanish and another indigenous language? Is it just Spanish ?
@@alexisdestiny9147 both Spanish and the indígenas language. The guy told her in Spanish then she answered in the native language.
@@alexisdestiny9147 and a word of wisdom. Never buy textiles from people who sale from those markets. The majority of them go to house to house telling the poor people to sell them their textiles. But the indigenous don't want to. But these buyers/ seller are very rude and manipulators. Taking advantage of poor people. The people who work hard to weave these textiles. Are giving maybe Q30 or less equal to $5 USD. Which is not much! The indigenous sell it to them because the need food or the kids are sick and need medication. Then the middle man sell them for Q300 or Q3,000 for the textiles, equal to $100 to $600 USD. And tells the tourists that they are the one who make it or they have people around who make them. To help the community etc.. if anyone wants to buy some. It's better to buy it from the person who weaves it or a organization the really helps the people.
my mom's a native Guatemalan, from the Akateko people and when I visited my family 3 years ago I purchased these hair accessories hoping I could connect to my Mayan side. However, I have forgotten I had them and didn't know how to wear them! SO glad this video is on here so I can learn how to wear them properly!
Thanks and I am glad that my video helped you, send a photo. I have a great selection from Guatemala.
She’s so beautiful ❤️I wish I had one of those it looks beautiful ❤️✨
I been in the us since I was 1. Looking forward to the day I can visit my cultural background!
This is amazing! I was born in Santa Ana and was adopted and now live in the USA. Even though I'm a male I'll be practicing this method! Thanks for the post I love this!
Glad you are enjoying the video, thanks.

She is beautiful !
I love the colors on these head bands. I never actually wore it on my head. I would wear it around my waist as a belt. Beautiful hand-made art work.
Yeah it’s for hair and I don’t think it’s intended to be worn as a belt, but it’s ok ig 😂
Q lindo!
Look straight up like me but fem version. Wish I was fluent in my language.
Is there anything on the men's headwear I think they are called chall or tzute.
Sorry I have no idea about men's headwear.
En donde es ?
