This work explores the collective action that structures the social unit of the limited patrilineal located immersed in the social tissue of the indigenous community, supported by meetings of part or all of this social unit and that occurs in collective scenarios of the housing complex where they reside called Muk’ta yab na in the Tsotsil language. Among the findings is that the forms of appropriation of the territory made by the patriline in the indigenous community configure their place of residence as a complex social space that shelters collective spaces of life where communicative processes occur supported by collective meetings with a high level of presence availability, which are coadjuvants of knowledge socialization processes. The approach to collective action practices, through the interpretive schemes used by the patrilineal actors in the framework of mutual knowledge, reveal their role as social articulator and the search for consensus, perceiving a reflective cognition in those who perform them, beyond regulatory compliance.

Keywords : Seat; Scenarios; Collective Meetings; Collective Action.
