Nobel Laureate Weds, Buries Her Baby Boy

In an elaborate ceremony mixing tears and laughter, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchu Tum was married and buried her baby in the village of San Pedro Jocopilas, a highlands town. Menchu, who won the prize in 1992 for her activism against the slaughter of the nation’s Indian majority during a 35-year civil war, returned from Mexico City for the religious ceremony. She married Angel Canil in a Mayan ceremony in Mexico City three years ago. Their wedding Saturday was conducted in a Roman Catholic church. The wedding was followed by the burial of the cremated remains of the couple’s son, Tz’unun--”hummingbird” in Menchu’s Quiche Maya language.
