It can take months to make fabric using indigenous techniques but the beauty of handmade items is worth the wait. What are your thoughts on preserving these traditional weaving styles?

What weaving techniques are you talking about? I’m from Guate and my family is Mayan and there are definitely more than 23 people that can do that?

I think a video that's only a few minutes long for such a detailed process is a travesty.

I think that the traditional style are remarkably beautiful. It should be taught in sewing classes. I would love to learn this art. 😍

Beautiful!!! We have our own traditional weaving up here in BC too. I’ll have to keep these people in mind, for when I can afford to commission something.

I live in Antigua and I see a lot of women weaving like this. It never fails to impress me, I couldn't do it.

Regrettably, I do not know any off the top of my head. Most of the women that I see making them tend to sell them on the streets or in the markets

So very cool. I'd bet 99% of people have no idea how cloth is woven. I'd love to see an extended version of this video

@NatGeo 6 жыл бұрын

It's enlightening to see how every day items like cloth are made, especially when it's done by hand! We're glad you enjoyed watching!

If anyone is interested, the people of San Juan la Laguna are Mayan, yes but specifically Tzutujil, which is also the language they speak! And they are incredibly friendly!

But yes, it is sad to see the Mayan culture and heritage slowly fade. I hope to continue them with my children and hope to see them flourish these beautiful traditions
