DEPICTION OF ANIMALS IN THE POPOL VUH 1 Depiction of Animals in the Popol Vuh and Current Mayan Folktales Fredy R. Rodríguez-Mejía and James D. Sexton Abstract The way humans interact with their environment has inter- ested anthropologists since the field's early years. This essay, which Rodriguez-Mejia first presented at the 2007 American 2 LATIN AMERICAN INDIAN LITERATURES JOURNAL Anthropological Association annual meetings, Washington, DC, offers an overview of the role of animal characters in Maya cosmovision. Another relevant folktale that features the jaguar is "The Arrival of the Dog into the World.

In the delightful Mayan folktale The Dog Who Spoke, we learn what happens when a dog's master magically transforms into a dog-man who reasons like a man but acts like a dog. This and the other Mayan folktales in this bilingual collection brim with the enchanting creativity of rural Guatemala's oral culture. In addition to stories about ghosts and humans turning into animals, the volume also offers humorous yarns. Hailing from the Lake Atitlan region in the Guatemalan highlands, these tales reflect the dynamics of, and conflicts between, Guatemala's Indian, Ladino, and white cultures. The animals, humans, and supernatural forces that figure in these stories represent Mayan cultural values, social mores, and history. James D. Sexton and Fredy Rodri­guez-Mejia allow the thirty-three stories to speak for themselves first in the original Spanish and then in English translations that maintain the meaning and rural inflection of the originals. Available in print for the first time, with a glossary of Indian and Spanish terms, these Guatemalan folktales represent generations of transmitted oral culture that is fast disappearing and deserves a wider audience.
  • "The Dog Who Spoke" is the latest offering from James Sexton, an anthropologist who has spent his professional career working with the Maya Indians of the Lake Atitlan region of Guatemala. Alas, it is not as good as "Mayan Folktales" and "Heart of Heaven, Heart of Earth," his earlier folktales collections. The tales in "The Dog Who Spoke" are not as polished as the earlier tales and tend to be quite short, many too short to be complete tales at all. One suspects that Sexton published the first-rate tales in his earlier collections and is now scraping the barrel to get lesser stories for a new collection. Either that or the earlier stories were more heavily edited, and the ones in this collection are being presented more "as is," which means they aren't as polished. So my recommendation to you is to read the earlier collections first and then get this one last as a comparison and in case your appetite for Mayan folktales hasn't yet been slaked.
