| Summary: | This paper presents a study of how Don Francisco de Montejo Xiu, the last halach uinic of the cúuchcabal of Maní, attempted to construct a new political entity with deep pre-Hispanic roots within the framework of colonial society. It is based on a historical and comparative analysis of the “Títulos de tierras de Maní”. After his death, the indigenous pueblos de indios took advantage of his renown as a founder in their own space-time to legitimate their land claims. The past recorded in these “Maní Land Titles” ultimately owed its existence to its relationship to the experienced present, and the perceived distance between the two space-times was much shorter than what one might imagine. |
