Abstract

The objective of this work is to understand the worldview of indigenous people living in rural areas in relation to corn cultivation, as well as to determine whether they have empirically noticed changes in the annual rainfall pattern. One contribution is the description of the work carried out in the cornfield and the solutions they have in mind to combat the changes they have observed in corn production. The results of the research show that most of the people interviewed are forced to carry out cornfield work by making adjustments to the traditional agricultural calendar, which established that production had to begin in spring. In this sense, a dichotomy is observed between meteorological time, ritual time and agricultural work time, to which the inhabitants are trying to get used to. In addition, it was found that production has decreased significantly over the years.
