The Alamo
San Antonio, TX

The Alamo is a sacred indigenous (Tap Pilam Coahuiltecan) burial ground. It’s not just a pretty building in the middle of a city; it is a sacred site which the Texas Historical Commission has repeatedly disturbed. Even during this pandemic, the THC is trying to disturb four indigenous remains from the burial site. Tap Pilam people have been calling for them to stop, their entire tribal website is plastered with the issue, yet the THC doesn’t set up even a sign at the Alamo that acknowledges the sacred nature of the area or the issues of Tap Pilam people today.

Instead of saying “remember the Alamo” please say “remember the burial grounds.” This is a sacred site for Tap Pilam people.
