Reading edition
The eastern Lacandones are tillers of the soil, hunters, and fishermen. Though occasionally baptized by catholic missionaries, and fond of saying prayers, they still adhere to their old heathen worship, and indulge in polygamy. They visit the whites and settled Indians to sell their produce. Berendt's Explor. in Cent. Am., in Smithsonian Rept, 1867, 425.
