Abstract

This work explores the cultural use of goods from the biodiversified space of the tsotsil house of the domestic group, called patna’. The diversity of goods obtained from polycultures established there contributes to practices of food, medicinal, ritual use, etc., carried out by that social unit within the cultural framework of the social group to which it belongs. The investigation included conducting interviews, inventories of goods, as well as direct observation to obtain data.

KEYWORDS: Patna ́; consumer goods; cultural use; tsotsil indigenous community; Chiapas.
