Crynodeb:An indigenous video archive in Santa Cruz del Quiché, Guatemala containing taped popular justice trials on the issue of Mayan rights inspired several anthropologists to develop a collaborative project along with indigenous mayors of the region.

The following material analyzes the possibilities and difficulties of a collaboration of this sort, emphasizing and theorizing on the use of video in indigenous practices, legal pluralism, modernity, alternative epistemology, intertextuality and collaborative anthropology.
