The old woman in Apocalypto is treated as unwanted by the slavers and gets left behind during the village raid rather than being taken as a valuable captive. The script specifically shows buyers rejecting her because she is “too old,” then saying she can still be useful for cooking and cleaning, but she is not sold.

In practical terms, that means she is not one of the people marched off for sacrifice or labor; she stays in the village area as the raid continues. The film does not give her a larger personal storyline after that moment.
