Abstract
Este trabajo tiene como objetivo central reflexionar sobre la situación de los pueblos indígenas de la península de Yucatán a partir de las reformas constitucionales realizadas en los estados de Yucatán, Campeche y Quintana Roo. Se describe y analiza la experiencia concreta de los jueces tradicionales mayas de Quintana Roo a trece años de aprobada la Ley de Justicia Indígena del estado. Se hace un balance de los principales conflictos y la forma en que han sido resueltos desde la justicia alternativa maya. La información ha sido obtenida a través de las actas de los juicios conciliatorios que se localizan en los 17 juzgados indígenas mayas del estado de Quintana Roo. También se incorporan datos etnográficos de primera mano obtenidos en los últimos cinco años de investigación de campo en varias comunidades de la zona maya.
The main objective of this work is to reflect on the situation of the indigenous peoples of the Yucatan peninsula through a review of the constitutional reforms carried out in the states of Yucatan, Campeche, and Quintana Roo. The specific experience of traditional Maya judges in Quintana Roo is described and analyzed, thirteen years after the state’s Indigenous Justice Law was approved. The article evaluates the principal conflicts and the way in which they have been resolved within alternative Maya justice. The information has been taken from the records of the conciliation proceedings in seventeen indigenous Maya courts in the state of Quintana Roo. It also incorporates first-hand ethnographic data obtained over the last five years of field research in several communities in the Maya region.
