An Ethnobotany Field School was held in the small Maya village of Yaxunah - a small community in Yucatan. We were honored to attend a Cha'a Chaak ceremony organized by the community leaders on July 26, 2015. The ceremony is designed to appeal to the Maya god Chaak to bring rain for recently planted corn.
