PRODUCT SUMMARY
For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- Meet Heriberto, a 9-year-old boy living on an Indian reservation in a village inhabited entirely by his extended family! When Heriberto is not attending school or playing football with his cousins, he helps his father tend to the family banana plantation and assists his mother with household chores like cooking and laundry. With no electricity in their three-room home, his family lives by the rhythm of the sun, just as their ancient ancestors did. Watch as Heriberto's family forms a ritual circle at the end of a joyful harvest celebration, and see how close family bonds are celebrated through this age-old cultural tradition. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
Part of the multivolume Families Around the World Video Series.
