- Abstract
This study deals with the way in which the cultural promoters of the Tamulté de las Sabanas, indigenous community in Tabasco, Mexico are structured so that the strategies of preservation of the cultural identity are transmitted to the new generations, guaranteeing the strengthening as an indigenous space. It was analyzed from the perspective of Giddens' Theory of Structuring. It was carried out with the qualitative method using the techniques of semi-structured interviews with ten cultural promoters and non-participant observation for 12 months. The obtained results describe that all the cultural promoters have a previous region that was originated with a governmental project during its childhood and that was the detonator for its formation. The later region strengthened the social actors, leading them to create a solid and unique structure that has benefited the community. It is suggested that this structure can be a model to be applied to other indigenous communities of country.
