Overview: The Zapatista Resistance did not end in 1994, and has continued through the creation and implementation of the Caracole system. Its important to recognize that resistance often continues after the historical moments that get codified in the annals of history. This video is intended to elucidate some of the developments that have taken place from 1994-2003.

1. What is the function of the Caracoles?

2. What is it that the Zapatistas are resisting?

2. What are the speakers asking for?

3. Would you categorize these speeches as forms of resistance? Why?
