I would like to take this time to write about the importance of the 2020 Census. Every 10 years, the United States counts everyone living in the nation on April 1st, which is approaching fast. Having our tribal members respond to the 2020 Census helps our Tribe re- ceive federal funding in the future. Funding for programs and grants are allocated based on Census data. For example, infrastructure like roads, housing, and hospitals are federally funded and the Census data helps distribute funding. With an accurate count of Mescalero Apaches living on and off the reservation, we can increase funding. We cannot afford an undercount. Children from the age of 0-5 years are the most under- counted. And even worse, Native Americans in the state of New Mexico are the most diffi- cult to count. The solution? Fill out the 2020 Census questionnaire! The month of March is when information about the Census will be in your mailbox or front door. I challenge you to not throw away anything related to the Census; instead, read the material. If you don’t quite understand the importance of the Census and how it can help the Tribe, please call the Tribal Offices. I hear we have some goodies if you visit Administration and talk about the Census. In closing, we will host community events for the coming weeks in hopes our tribal members know the significance of the Census and how to fill out the questionnaire. Be on the lookout! “I’m Mescalero Apache and I count.” Sincerely, Gabe Aguilar President Volume V.20, Issue 03 Apache Scout Page 11 Speak your language Courtesy June Shaw Page 12 Apache Scout Volume V.20, Issue 03 Lawmakers: Budget excludes rural, tribal voices in education by Trip Jennings, New Mexico In Depth, New Mexico In Depth the for not doing right by spending most of its public plan is school students, con- respond- verging with an influx ing to the of cash from the oil court or- and gas sector into der that state coffers and a demands new Democratic gov- New Mex- ernor calling for an ico edu- education cate its “moonshot.” Sudden- at-risk ly the moment for Bernalyn Via of the Mescalero students change looked immi- Apache tribe visited the Roundhouse on Fb. 10 to lobby lawmakers.

  • The Impact of Gaming on the Indian Nations in New Mexico*
    The Impact of Gaming on the Indian Nations in New Mexico n Thaddieus W. Conner, University of Oklahoma William A. Taggart, New Mexico State University Objective. This study examines the economic and social impact of Indian gaming on the residents of the 22 pueblos and tribes in New Mexico. Method. We employ a naturally occurring quasi-experimental design that classifies each of the Indian Nations into one of two groups, gaming and nongaming, depending on the con- tinuous operation of a ‘‘Las Vegas’’ style casino for multiple years in the 1990s. For these two groups we compare aggregate, primarily U.S. Census, data spanning 25 indicators in both 1990 and 2000. Results. Although improvements were evident for both groups, nine of the 12 economic measures and six of the 13 social measures revealed a growing disparity favoring gaming nations during the 1990s, while six other measures suggested declining but continuing differences. These findings per- sisted in light of controls for population and urbanization, though many of the economic differences disappeared for the rural nations. Conclusion. Gaming has had a positive economic and social impact on the gaming pueblos and tribes in New Mexico, especially for the more urbanized nations. The gaming nations are enjoying higher incomes, lower levels of poverty, and improvements in selected social areas compared to those nations opting not to pursue casino gaming in the 1990s. Legalized casino gambling has become a significant economic force in the United States, with total revenues surpassing $50 billion in 2005 and Indian casinos accounting for what is approximately 50 percent of this total (American Gaming Association, 2008).

One of these, called in the legend, Presidio dcl Paso, is situated where Juarcz, in Chihuahua, now stands, just opposite El Paso. The other four arc designated on this map as 1 Mision d 5" Lorenzo, Mision d Cenecu, Mision d la Isleta, and Mision del Socorro. Each is indicated by a picture of a church building, with surrounding lines representing irrigation canals, as the legend "riego de las misiones" states. All of these lie on the right bank of the river, or in what is now the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. It is known Crom historical sources that Indians speak. ing at least four different dialects, and probably comprising three distinct stocks, inhabited these fi\•e towns. The Mansos lived in El Paso, the Suma in San Lorenzo, the Tiwa in Ysleta, and the Piros in Senecu and Socorro; there were also other Indians - Tano, Tewa, and Jemez - scattered through some of these set­ tlemen-ts.

He decided to conquer the pueblo for Spain. He asked Francisco de Coronado to be the leader. Coronado reached the Zuni Pueblo in 1540. He and his men soon found out that this pueblo did not have the riches that they hoped to find. They took what they could from the Zuni. They then claimed this pueblo Southern Mehodist University Press and 80 more for Spain. Coronado traveled from Spanish territory in Mexico to the southwestern United States in search of riches.

This sometimes left the Pueblo Indians without enough to eat. Many Pueblo peoples were forced to become servants in Spanish homes. Sometimes the Spaniards would cut off one foot of young adult males as a way to control them. The Spanish priests tried to convert the Pueblo peoples to Christianity. They pressured the Pueblo Indians by hanging, whipping, or putting them in prison. Most Pueblo people did not want to be Christians. They wanted to worship in their own traditions. The Spaniards also brought smallpox to the pueblo. This very serious disease causes a rash and high fever and spreads easily.

S. A. RECENTLY DATED PUEBLO RUINS IN ARIZONA By EMIL W. HAURY AND LYNDON L. HARGRAVE (WITH 27 PLATES) FOREWORD In 1921 the National Geographic Society began excavation and study of Pueblo Bonito, a prehistoric ruin in Chaco Canyon, north- western New Mexico. It was the privilege of the undersigned to direct these archeological investigations from their inception to the conclusion of actual field-work in the autumn of 1927. Pueblo Bonito is unquestionably the finest extant example of that phase of southwestern history known to archeologists as Pueblo III— the period during which small, isolated villages were drawn together into large, complex communities. After a time these communities began to disintegrate ; to separate into lesser groups that spread far and wide in search of more fertile fields and freedom from the attacks of nomadic enemies. Then came, in 1540, Coronado and his fellow adventurers to initiate the Spanish conquest of the Southwest ; to bring about still further disintegration of the peaceful Pueblo tribes and their unique social organization. This Spanish-dominated phase of Pueblo history, from 1540 to the present, is commonly designated Pueblo V.

  • Texas Indians CH 4 TEXAS HISTORY First Texans
    Texas Indians CH 4 TEXAS HISTORY First Texans Native Americans adapted to and used their environment to meet their needs. Plains Indians People who move from place to place with the seasons are nomads. The main advantage of teepees was their mobility. Plains Indians The Apaches were able to attack both the Spanish and other Indian groups because of their skilled use of horses. Apaches used their skill at riding horses to assert dominance. Plains Indians The Comanche became wealthy as skilled buffalo hunters. Hunters used buffalo hides for clothing and shelter and ate the meat. All Plains Indians lived off the buffalo. Plains Indians The Comanche first entered Texas from the Great Plains. The Comanche later drove the Apache into the Mountains and Basins region of West Texas and into New Mexico. Plains Indians The Lipan and Mescalero were subgroups of the Apaches. Southeastern Indians The Caddos were a matrilineal society, which meant they traced their families through the mother’s side. Caddos farmed and practiced crop rotation to prevent the soil from wearing out. Southeastern Indians Farming changed Native American culture by creating more complex, permanent societies. Western Gulf Indians Gulf Coast Indians were different from Plains Indians because they were able to eat seafood from the Gulf, including oysters, clams, turtles and fish. Western Gulf Indians The Karankawa and Coahuiltecan were both were nomads along the Gulf Coast. They didn’t farm because they lived in a dry area. Pueblo Indians The Pueblo were from the Mountains and Basins region and built adobe homes of mud and straw.
