Old Pueblo Rd. Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, TX 79907 915.859.7913 www.ysletadelsurpueblo.org We would like to thank Traditional Councilman Rene Lopez and Director of the Tigua Native American Ministry Mike Lara for their assistance to photograph the Ysleta Mission. The Year-End Report is assembled under the direction of Tribal Operations. Electronic copies of the report are available on the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo website (http://www.ysletadelsurpueblo.org/) under the Tribal Council section. Manufactured in El Paso, Texas by Tovar Printing. Graphic design by Smoke Signals / Rudy Rojas. Photography by Christ Chavez. May 2018 ii LEFT PAGE: Front door of the Ysleta Mission. Since 1680, Ysleta Pueblo and Mission had several sites within the Lower Valley. In 1684, as result of the Manso-Suma rebellion, the Spanish governor had the Tigua relocate upriver. By the early 1700s, Ysleta had become a prosperous and self-sufficient agricultural community. In 1740, the Río Grande surged over its banks, destroying the Pueblo, Mission, farmlands, and pastures. The Tigua survived this horrific flood and rebuilt the Pueblo and Mission.

In other words, the By embracing this philosophy, we have realized material Pueblo is investing resources into developing a case and substantial gains in our efforts to improve the management approach where YDSP staff will coach, socioeconomic and health outcomes of our citizens. mentor, and monitor higher education students. 1 Moreover, the findings have served to identify and substantiate educational needs, thus making higher education attainment a priority. It is understood that educational attainment influences other factors such as income, financial security, and overall quality of life. Prioritizing education remains at the forefront of the Pueblo’s agenda as evidenced by investing in both continuing educational programming and creating high-quality early learning programs. These programs aim to mitigate barriers to financial security necessary for creating safe and stable households. Equally important, the Pueblo’s economic development efforts—such as Speaking Rock Entertainment Center and Tigua Inc.—create different avenues for achieving similar outcomes. Speaking Rock has been a true success story in our self-governance journey despite the State of Texas Attorney General’s unwavering grievances. Our pioneers, like Taikabede Francisco Holguin and Tom Diamond, both who we lost in 2017, understood the necessary defense against outsiders and sought the power of the tombe (drum). Thus, it is imperative that each one of us collaborate in harmony to harvest the community’s fullest potential.

    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.

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 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.
