Popis:	This study examines cultural variation in the use of a balance of nonverbal conversation and talk for social coordination among children learning how to fold origami figures. Participants were 102 same-gender similar-age triads of first through third grade children from communities in México and California that varied in relation to Indigenous histories and experience with Western schooling (and related practices) across generations. Children from communities with Mexican Indigenous histories in the United States and in Mexico coordinated their interactions with a balance of nonverbal conversation and talk more often than children from communities with extensive histories of Western schooling, who relied more exclusively on talk. We suggest that especially articulate nonverbal conversation may occur in some communities with Mesoamerican Indigenous histories.
