Guatemalan / Mayan
Mayan civilization occupied much of the north-western part of the isthmus of Central America, from Chiapas and Yucatán, now part of southern Mexico, through Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, and El Salvador and into Nicaragua. Maya people still live in the same region today.
There is an old legend told by the Indians high in the hills of Guatemala. It teaches that when you have worries, share with your dolls.
Before you go to sleep tell one worry to each doll then, whilst you are sleeping, the dolls will take your worries away.
In the dolls’ original Guatemalan tradition, the origin of the Muῆeca quitapena refers to a Mayan princess names lxmucane. The princess received a special gift from the sun god which would allow her to solve any problem a human could worry about.
