| Summary: | The theme of this essay is the universe as it is perceived and explained by today's Chontales. Through the tradition of these people, the authors give testimony of the indigenous Chontal conception of the world: territory, nature, mankind, the infra-world, the deities and other supernatural creatures, all this in relation with the social order and the processes that affect individual and collective life. The article outlines the characteristics and attributes of the spirits, deities and elves that populate the Chontales' religious world, deeply rooted in the prehispanic tradition. (Am Indig/DÜI) |
