  • 2019 Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo Year End Report
    YSLETA DEL SUR PUEBLO 2019 YEAR-END REPORT YSLETA DEL SUR PUEBLO 2019 YEAR-END REPORT The 2019 Year-End Report highlights eight traditional recipes, each steeped in Tigua culture and history. The featured dishes range from albondigas to verdolagas and classic tigua bread—many of which are not only served in tribal homes, but also prepared for the St. Anthony’s Feast. All of the recipes hold agricultural and historical ties to Pueblo lands and people. Tigua harvests and indigenous crops, such as corn, beans, squash, chilies, and tomatoes, determined what was prepared and consumed on the Pueblo. Tigua planting cycles followed the phases of the moon. A new field, for example, would be planted four days before the new moon on the third month (i.e., March) of the new year. All of the featured recipes were contributed and prepared by Tribal members. Thank you to all those who made this project possible.

(Petition # 5) This group apparently filed an application or a supplemental application for Federal Acknowledgement on or about September 29, 2015. Although as will be pointed out in our Comment Letter and as outlined on your website; the Tribe has also filed numerous previous submissions for recognition to the Office of Federal Acknowledgement. As you are aware from The FSA Tribe's previous communications regarding Petition# 5; the FSA Tribe believes that it was not provided adequate and lawful Notice as required under 25 C.F.R. § 83.22(b)(2)(1V) by the Office of Federal Acknowledgement (OFA). 1 And thus the Tribe believes it should be afforded additional time, past the March 28, 2016 deadline, to provide comments on Petition # 5. The Tribe today, filed a "Request for Reconsideration of Fort Sill Apache Tribe's Request for Extension of Time to Comment on Piro/Manso/Tiwa Federal Acknowledgement Petition" to the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs (Enclosure 1) The Tribe wants to be abundantly clear that in filing this "Comment Letter"; the Tribe is not waiving any of its rights with regard to the issues raised in its Request for Reconsideration and that the Tribe still requests additional time as outlined in its Request for Reconsideration to further supplement this submission.

    July 6, 2020 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL Roger Goodell, Commissioner National FootBall League 280 Park Avenue New York, NY 10017 [email protected] Dear Mr. Goodell, The undersigned are Native American leaders and organizations that have worked tirelessly and substantively for over half a century to change the racist name of the Washington team. We appreciate the statements made in recent days regarding the league and the team’s intention to revisit the name, But we are deeply concerned that the process or decision to rename is Being made in aBsence of any discussion with the concerned leadership. Specifically, we, the undersigned, request that the NFL immediately: 1. Require the Washington NFL team (Owner- Dan Snyder) to immediately change the name R*dsk*ns, a dictionary defined racial slur for Native Peoples. 2. Require the Washington team to immediately cease the use of racialized Native American Branding By eliminating any and all imagery of or evocative of Native American culture, traditions, and spirituality from their team franchise including the logo. This includes the use of Native terms, feathers, arrows, or monikers that assume the presence of Native American culture, as well as any characterization of any physical attributes. 3. Cease the use of the 2016 Washington Post Poll and the 2004 National AnnenBerg Election Survey which have Been repeatedly used By the franchise and supporters to rationalize the use of the racist r-word name. These surveys were not academically vetted and were called unethical and inaccurate By the Native American Journalist Association as well as deemed damaging By other prominent organizations that represent Native Peoples.
