I kēia lā ʻehā mau lāhui i noho ma ka moku ʻo Tabasco: Nahuas, Chontales, Mayaszoques a me Choles. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka moʻomeheu ʻōiwi nui ka Chontal, ʻoiai he nui nā moʻomeheu a me nā manaʻo o Tabasco i hoʻokumu ʻia i kāna cosmogony kahiko, i hoʻopiha ʻia e nā hiʻohiʻona Mayan a me Olmec.
Hoʻoholo kēia hoʻoilina moʻomeheu i ka hana ʻana i nā ʻano hana like ʻole o nā hana noʻeau kaulana. I loko o kēlā me kēia home ʻōiwi, hāʻawi ʻia ka meaʻai a me nā mea inu i nā ipu puhi, kālai ʻia kā lākou puna punahele me nā kiʻi ma nā lima; Hoʻohana ʻia ke kedera ʻulaʻula no kona mau kaupoku a me nā kuahu a i ʻole nā alanui kahi e mālama ʻia ai kahi ʻaha me nā pepa china.
I nā hale pule āpau o ka ʻāina ʻōiwi o Nacajuca a me ke kahakai aia ka maʻamau o ka pule ʻana i ka haipule ma ka ʻōlelo Chontal, ʻoiai unuhi kahi kanaka i ka ʻōlelo Paniolo.
Ma kahi kokoke i nā kūlanakauhale āpau o Tabasco i hōʻike ʻia o ka make ʻana o Kristo ma ka Pule Hemolele, ma ka hapanui o nā hale pule o Tamulté de las Sabanas a me Quintín Arauz kahi i kau ʻia ai nā waʻa lāʻau liʻiliʻi i kālai ʻia mai ke kaupaku, he mahalo no ka loaʻa mai o ka ʻoluʻolu.
ʻO ka hoʻolauleʻa koʻikoʻi ka mea o Dekemaba 12 e hoʻohanohano ai i ka Puʻupaʻa o Guadalupe, nona nā kuahu e kūkulu ai i nā kaiāulu a me nā kolone a me nā kaona āpau o ka mokuʻāina. I kēlā me kēia hale kahi e kipa ʻia ai ke kuahu, hoʻokipa ʻia ka malihini me kahi pāʻina nani o nā tamale ʻulaʻula a me nā atoles o nā hua like ʻole.
No kēlā me kēia hoʻolauleʻa haipule aia kahi kīʻaha mālama i ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i kahi ipu kokoleka nui āna e hāʻawi ai i waena o ka poʻe e hele ana i nā hana liturgical.
Ma Tenosique, i ka wā o ka carnival e hōʻike ʻia ka hulahula kaulana a El Pocho, inā he lā nui ʻole ia, ma ka moku āpau i lawe ʻia ai ka pozol ma ke ʻano he inu hōʻoluʻolu, lawelawe ʻia i nā jícaras i hana ʻia ma Jalpa, Centla a me Zapata. Kālai nani ʻia nā niu paʻa, i hoʻohana ʻia no nā kumu like.
ʻO nā lau nani o nā paxtles, nā ipu hao, nā pā, nā kīʻaha, nā mea ʻala a me nā comales i hana ʻia i ka pālolo, i kekahi manawa i hoʻonani ʻia me nā pastillage maʻalahi i hana ʻia e nā wahine mai nā kaona o Tacotalpa, Jonuta, Nacajuca, Centla a me Jalpa de Méndez, no ka lawelawe ʻana hoʻomākaukau i nā meaʻai
ʻOno a lauwili nā meaʻai a ka poʻe Tabasco, no ka mea, komo pū me ka armadillo, ka tepescuintle i ka adobo, ka jicotea, ka pochitoque a me ka guao (nā ʻano manu kuhukukū o ka ʻāina) i nā kopa a me nā ʻōpala, ka peelagarto i ʻōlehu ʻia; nā mākala chipilín ʻono a me nā totopostes kaulana, me ka hoʻohui i nā tausani ala e kuke ai nā mea kanu.
ʻO kēlā me kēia kūlanakauhale he ʻumikūmāhiku e hana ana i ka mokuʻāina i kāna pāʻina ponoʻī a me kāna mau hoʻolauleʻa ponoʻī, kahi e hauʻoli ai ka poʻe me nā mele āpana a me nā hulahula, nā hana noʻeau e hōʻike ana i ka hana a nā poʻe o Tabasco. No laila, ʻo nā mea āpau ma Tabasco he art, nā mea āpau i Tabasco kahi moʻomeheu.
