“…8 I hope this text will not be seen as a simple "testimony." Sjalel kibeltik is not a collection of testimonies in the sense of "empirical narratives" gathered by a social scientist (Vergara 1999).

The essay that follows is an English language version of chapter 10 of the book Sjalel kibeltik, Sts'isjel ja kechtiki', Tejiendo nuestras raíces . 1 Sjalel kibeltik (Interweaving our roots) is a co-authored book in four languages-Tsotsil, Tseltal, Tojolabal, oral, and visual. 2 The co-authors call it an (audio) book because of the weight we give to orality and visuality.

In the medium term we proposed to develop the book Sjalel kibeltik and began to set out a dialogical and collective method for working together and for writing and taping our contributions. Our methodology drew upon the ways in which indigenous communities and organizations create consensus, but we were

“…Como bien resume Jorge Iván Vergara: "Quienes utilizan los testimonios tienden a creer que éstos son una expresión directa y no mediada de las representaciones y modos de sentir y pensar del pueblo, sus mujeres, etc. Se emplea a menudo una metáfora para ilustrar esta tesis: la voz del pueblo"(Vergara 2004).…”
