The group again will showcase American Indian food and dance at the festival. This year, the group will offer an ear of corn and a pure buffalo burger. SAN ANTONIO — A few years ago at the Texas Folklife Festival, a little girl asked American Indian Isaac Cardenas, “How do you live so long?” http://www.expressnews.com/entertainment/article/Celebrating-cultures-More-than-40-will-be-5529189.php 1/5 6/20/2014 Celebrating cultures: More than 40 will be represented at Texas Folklife Festival - San Antonio Express-News Cardenas wasn't fazed. Instead of taking offense, the member of the Tap Pilam Coahuiltecan Nation explained how the American Indian culture continues to exist outside history books. Cardenas, the director of programs for American Indians in Texas at the Spanish Colonial Missions, or AIT-SCM, said questions like these are more common than one would think. “A lot of people don't know about our contributions,” he said of the 20-year-old group that seeks to preserve and strengthen the American Indian community in South Texas. “People aren't aware there's a large urban Indian population here.” The desire to spread knowledge and culture is what has brought groups such as AIT-SCM to the Texas Folklife Festival at the Institute of Texan Cultures since the celebration's start in 1972.

Shortly thereafter, the real estate market collapsed and the plan was put on hold. Nothing new had been proposed for the site until this year, when developers secured legislation allowing for a special taxing district to support infrastructure costs. The district is contingent on a development agreement with the city of San Antonio.” 1994 Jan. 26, 2002 (1B) Lumbermen’s and 26 other developments exploit loophole in water quality ordinance, “grandfathering” rights that exempt them from new restrictions on development over the aquifer.
