Abstract
This article, written by a professional anthropologist with fieldwork experience among the Tzeltal, is concerned with the people, their culture and society. Data pertain to environment, culture history, technology, food, social structure, political organization, life cycle, religion, etc. Villa Rojas also mentions the socio-cultural changes in Tzeltal society and regional differences between Tzeltal communities. Although this account is based primarily on the author's field work, it is further supplemented by additional library research.
