This research is a first approach to understand the situation of the assets and community funds of the indigenous peoples of the province of Tabasco at the end of the 18th century, which have so far been barely studied systematically. In the “Expediente para conocer el estado de las comunidades de indios de la provincia de Tabasco y arreglarlas como corresponde”, its governor, Don Miguel Castro y Araoz, and other viceregal authorities of the Mérida Intendancy, between 1793 and 1797, after learning the unfortunate situation of the community funds, they will express their opinions in order to take measures to order and systematize these funds in accordance with the provisions of the Ordenanza de Intendentes of 1786. In a complex and marginal geographical scenario, the examination of this file reveals the delicate situation that these peoples were going through and the difficulties in contributing to the good performance of the community funds.
