EVERY one of the current tribes, which are resident in TX, came to TX in the 19th or 20th centuries.

The Tigua, who have a reservation or trust land in El Paso, came to Texas from New Mexico (much of which was once Texas, of course) in the aftermath of the Pueblo revolt of 1680 [Link].

They were from Isleta Pueblo in New Mexico and perhaps before that from Gran Quivira in eastern New Mexico.

I didn’t know that much of New mexico was every considered to be Texas. I thought that Santa Fe was the center of government, power, and trade, under Spain and Mexico and that Nueuvo Mexico was always considered to be a terrory in of it’s own right.

TRUE.

i have an "Army buddy" who is Tigua. his stories of their coming to TX are fascinating to listen to.
