Comments: The lives of two extended Yucatec Maya are the subjects of this program. Film footage and commentary by Hubert L. Smith, whose field research spanned many years in the Maya community, follow the family of Prudencio Colli Canche, a traditional extended-family group as its members share the daily chores, teaching the youngsters in a never-ending cycle. The second family, that of Reymundo Colli, is experiencing change and stress because two sons want to break out of the farming lifestyle, seek more schooling, and move to the city. The 'dependency' training of extended families is revealed by this challenge, and one of the sons, unable to cope with a new environment, returns home.
