- The Hammock -This short Belize film documents the all but dying traditional Maya art of weaving hammocks from the fibers of the agave plant.
The old ways are almost gone and for his sons to be so ignorant is a shame. I would pay to learn his hammock making skill! Very few care about tradition. Thank you for sharing this insightful video! Much appreciated!!!
I enjoy him he is so humble.
I would attend his hammock making school if he had one. Thank you so much 4 posting this video.
please, where do we sign up?
when I take my children to Belize that's all they want to do is play/sleep in the hammocks . they can't wait to go back. p.s love this video thanks for sharing
My Grandfather use to make all kind of things with his hands, I wish that I could have learned these things.
shame when you don't know, that would sell in the U.S. for $250-300 dollars because it's hand made with natural material from nature
I hope his kids learn that. Perhaps that would stir their interest.
Awesome that's an ancient skill one should be proud to learn. His kids are fortunate to have a dad like him!!.
loved it and I would attend his school also what a great skill thanks for sharing!!
Wow! I really wish I know how to make a hammock! It's very wonderful to see how he did it. Wish younger generations these days would gain some knowledge from elders like him & get to learn to do things naturally, so that traditions like these would continue into the future for our children.
this film is precious, thank you
I love this video...I live in Belize and make videos and have seen a lot of videos made down this way...this is one of my favorite.
Hes a delight and that is a wonderful video. Thank you.
I was looking at videos to show my school about Belize and found this one!!!!!! ❤
What a great man! Very humble.
Look at how discipline this man is; he’s going to the farm/fields and his shirt is tucked in and he’s wearing a belt.
I love him. I want to learn to make a hammock like that
This is such a beautiful video and so calming
Very interesting. Very humble man
Delightful vid! May he rock in peace!
Very cool. Thank you for sharing this.

beautiful
nice work
who did the sub on this video? This is my first language and I'm sorry to say but you have majority of what he said wrong. He is actually very funny and sweet and you missed it :-(
Yes :)
actually there is an aplication to make sub on youtube, if you can do it ? it will be nice !
Anna Lee mine too. and I was like that's not what he said..lol
Anna Lee I do hate when they do subs to our language, I love when my grandma and grandpa are speaking to me and other family from yard
Hi Anna. The translations were done live while we filmed with Mr. Choco. His daughter translated from K'ekchi into Spanish (she could not speak English) and then her husband translated from Spanish to English. The subtitles are verbatim of the live translation we got during filming.
i wAnt one...i would so buy one of his hAmmocks!!! i mAke frequent trip to Belize, And to be Able to bring one home with me would be super Awesome!!!
God bless them 🤗❤️🌄
Wow look at how Guyanese and belizean culture is so similar very interesting 🤔
can i buy a hammock from him this is wonderful!!!!
the captions weren't actually correct. The person in charge of the captions should retranslate his statement. He was being funn and sweet in the video but it was missed by the awful translation
What a man !! :)
I want to learn! Teach me teach me, where can I find you when I come to Belize?
my mayan indigenous people i m from k'iches
Super 👍🇲🇺❤️
They look like our kalinago. I believe they are all the same people.
ohhhh i wanna buy his hammocks!!!!
how can get them?
very cool do you know if he is still alive I would like to met him
Yes he is still alive but he is so old and couldln't walk again
I would like to learn the weaving.
where can I buy one?
Es legua maya?
Greetings from Barbados. Nice Video. But coming from someone that is 100% pure Maya that speaks the same language, the translation is off. In fact I'm from the same district of Belize as Mr. Choco. Overall the video is great. Thank you.
Nice wish I knew how to speak your language and do the things he's doing
Is mayan spoken different in mexico, belize and guatemala? Or is it the same? my guess is that bc of belize being now a country that speaks english it may have changed a little bit right?
What language is he speaking?
WE DAH TRIBE
Is he still alive?
Belize belongs to Belize. No one else. A wonderful country
my grandfather
I think he is speaking kitcke lenguage from guatemala cuz that part of guatemala
Jajajajajajajajajajaja pobre chapin ardido guatepiores resentidos y fracasados
🙂🙂🙂🙂
why is the music so bad
Belize is Mayan not black or English
Why are there so many idiots responding on this topic... Belize is an English Speaking Country, multi-ethnic in composition--- Get your facts together please!
@@mellowvision3565 I've never walked "thousands of miles to the US" again you're making pathetic arguments that show nothing except your envy towards other Central Americans... You just said you Africans still have a continent, do me a favor then and go there and take all of your disgusting countrymen with you
The Modern Mayans are good people whom are being treated badly by many Mestizo's who also claim to be white! Thats a shame!
@@mellowvision3565 That's how it's been for many years unfortunately, Mestizos have been denying their Native roots for hundreds of years but I'm telling you this is changing now as Mestizos are becoming more educated and are now preferring their native roots and standing up against blacks and whites
@@TheyHurry In Belize the Mayans are doing very well thank you. Your opening statement speaks volumes about you as a person-- I may be wrong to broadbrush poor people whom happens to be Native. I am a realist un-like yourself who thinks that one day Blacks and Whites will pack up and leave the America's.... Pure rubish talk, Keep dreaming man!!!
Cuando va ser q los guatemaltecos recuperamos belise
Jesus Gutierrez no seas inorante Belize es libre e. independiente
juate es una cagada
@@keniaperdomo1977 no insultes a todo el país no seas basura nadie te está instalando a ti
😝😝😝
jaja some the translation is total different to what he is saying lol
Mayans most marginalized in Belize.
Cuz half of belice belongs to guatemala half of belice is guatemalas territories
Guatemala belongs to Mexico, but Mexico refuse to have them... I wonder why!!
The Guatemalan province of Belice. Guatemalan mayan territory.
