Lubaantun archaeology - native girl in British Museum, 1926
Believed to be the first of a dying race of Maya indians who has ever visited England: Emilia Vasquez standing by an ancient Maya monolith in the British Museum, where she was introduced to a lecture audience by explorer Mr. F.A Mitchell Hedges on 10th January 1926. Mitchell Hedges was lecturing on the discovery(in which he took a leading role) of the buried Maya city of Labaatun in British Honduras(today Belize). The girl was from the Maya Ketchi tribe of Central American Indians, whose people, as the Illustrated London News romantically put it, " have dwindled to scanty remnant in the wilds of British Honduras, around the ruins of a dead civilization."
