According to Tigua mythology, the Wiede, the Tigua's spirit, created the Indians in the caves of the Hueco Tanks. The Tiguas lost most of their land, including that which is sacred to them. The State of Texas has returned portions of the Hueco Tanks for the Tiguas to develop as revenue-producing tourist facilities, but the Indians have filed a federal claim to regain all of their ancestral land.

  • Mission Trail Comprehensive Plan
    Mission Trail Comprehensive Plan September 2019 Table of Contents 1 Goals & Objectives 2 Land Use 3 Mobility 4 Economics A Public Process B Design Guidelines C UNESCO Designation Table of Contents Goals & 1 Objectives This comprehensive plan looks at the Mission Valley Historic Trail area, its three distinct communities, and looks for ways for each community to protect and enhance its character and quality of life for its residents. This plan builds upon the efforts and guidance of the previous 1993 plan. Like the 1993 plan, the purpose of this plan is to provide the framework to preserve a portion of El Paso’s heritage. This plan presents guidelines and policy recommendations for the preservation, protection, and enhancement of the structures, sites, character, and culture of the Mission Trail Historical Area and the surrounding environment along the Camino Real. Key objectives of the 1993 plan included: 1. Create an Historic Corridor along Socorro Road 2. Creation of Historic Districts within each community, 3. Create Design Guidelines for development within the historic districts. El Paso’s Mission Valley has a long and complex history that should be highlighted and celebrated, but is often unknown to people even within El Paso. County officials in El Paso have began efforts to increase awareness of the Mission Trail including the installation of historic place markers. The undertaking to promote the trail is an effort of different partnerships including El Paso County, the City of El Paso, the City of Socorro, Tigua Indian Tribe, City of San Elizario, Ysleta community and the Santa Fe National Trail office.
