As part of our “Away from Home” exhibit, Rick Quezada (Director of Cultural Preservation at Ysleta del Sur Pueblo) will be discussing the causes of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt and how the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo Tigua were affected by boarding schools. The Tigua Indians have a unique history in El Paso, Texas and are the only Pueblo Indian tribe within the state of Texas. Their forced migration to the El Paso area by the retreating Spanish during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 makes them the only surviving pueblo in El Paso. Join us as we explore the Indigenous histories in our region and how these local histories intersect with national ones.
