Description | This film was made in the countryside around San Luis, of the municipality of Villa las Rosas. Teacher Inocencio, a native of this municipality, brought us to this place; but also, as members of the CIESAS Tseltal project, we had an interest in understanding this place because we had come to realize that this commons was now the only place where fathers and sons speak the Tseltal language. On arrival, two elders met us, but later some other elders joined the conversation, members of the San Luis community. During the course of the conversation, they touched on many themes; for example, they talked about the foundation of the commons, some 35 or 40 years ago. Similarly, they commented on how once there were only eleven families in the community, of whom only eight were considered communitarians. In the same fashion, they said that to resolve communal problems they had to go to the seat at Villa las Rosas, to obtain a solution to agrarian problems. However, observe that this commune (common land) is adapted by Tseltals of the municipality who have now been designated, but there are also three families proceeding from Tenejapa. At the end of the film, they recount a legend about the character Juan Wico. |
