Demand a 3rd Party Conduct a Comprehensive In-Depth Archival Study of The Alamo
The Issue
The Texas Historical Commission (THC) as a Historic Cemetery on May 10, 2019, concessions from THC in at least two letters to the Tap Pilam Coahuiltecan Nation expressing that it has “no doubt there were hundreds of individuals buried in and around Mission San Antonio de Valero (The Alamo) during the Spanish-colobial era” and numerous evidence presented by the Tap Pilam Coahuiltecan Nation to the THC outlining the historical significance of the dead buried on the sacred ground.
We are demanding that a 3rd party be appointed, independent of the City of San Antonio, Texas General Land Office and Alamo Trust Inc., to conduct;
- A Comprehensive in-depth archival report
- A Comprehensive archaeological Historic cemetery delineation report
- We demand that Lineal Descendants of the people buried at the Alamo be consulted with and new Human Remains protocols be developed with their input.
- We demand that the Tap Pilam Coahuiltecan Nation be included on the Alamo Mission Archaeology Advisory Committee.
We ask that ALL City of San Antonio residents call your city and state representatives and demand that San Antonio de Valero (The Alamo) cemetery be provided with all the protections that other Historical cemetery are provided across Texas.
Since 1994 the Tap Pilam Coahuiltecan Nation has fought for the return of ancestral remains around San Antonio and we will not give up our fight to ensure all repatriations are honored and we are able to rebury our ancestral remains if human remains are discovered at the Mission San Antonio de Valero. We hope that the City of San Antonio as land owners move forward to ensure our history is never forgotten.
