Footage shot during travel with his wife, Frances, for research purposes on markets of the villages around Lake atitlan. Film opens with aerial views flying into and out of Tampico, Mexico, and on the way to Guatemala showing terain of coastlines and moutains. The film primarily documents markets and daily life activites in the villages in the Lake Atitlan area including, most likely, Antigua. Film footage includes Danza de los Voladores, a Mesoamerican ceremony, that appears to be held at a race track (Guatemala City?); women weaving including back strap looms, floor loom and men weaving narrow belts; many views of Lake Atitlan and the volcanoes; agriculture activities including haying, hoeing, planting, threshing wheat using horses and ; indian markets, traveling by foot on dirt roads ladened with various burdens strapped to back or on head and traveling around Lake Atitlan by boat; a number of markets held in villages around Lake Atitlan, often including the church; man making base of basket; pottery making; cutting traceries on blackened tree calabash by turning it against a sharp carving tool; Sacapulas woman making salt rounds in molds; washing clothes on lake shore; man playing old-type marimba with gourd sound-boxes. His wife, an artist, is shown sketching a weaver. ; Based on his research work in the village markets surrounding Lake Atitlan, the villages filmed probably include Solala, Panajachel, Chichicastenango, and San Sebastian Coatan. It is likely that he used the film for live lectures.
