Indigenous People

For the past six years, the Miakan-Garza Band, a Coahuiltecan tribe in San Marcos, has been petitioning UT to return human remains to them for reburial. They believe the ancient remains, all found in Hays County, are their ancestors.

A new student-made art installation in San Marcos depicts the Coahuiltecan creation story and the five guardians of the San Marcos River.

Indigenous peoples have occupied Central Texas for thousands of years — long before Spanish settlers arrived in the mid-16th century.

The Indigenous Cultures Institute is asking Hays County for $10 million dollars to build a 10-acre Indigenous cultures center in San Marcos. They hope to use the space for Indigenous arts and language revitalization classes and a community garden where people can learn about native plants and herbal medicines.
