Among the Mayans living in the eastern region of the peninsula, past and present culture is transmitted through myth, legend, tales, etc. Historical facts is present in common sense, giving strength to culture and keeping it genuine and differentiated.In this article the author calls upon history specialists to resort to lived history, narrated from common sense, a history which travels by word of mouth and whose importance lies in the fact that it is made for and by a specific "cultural matrix", outside of which it is a mute history. The author concludes with a thematic proposal for the study of oral history in peasant culture.
