Lipan Apaches get Texas State recognition

For those of y'all in our class last semester, just wanted to update you on some awesome news about the Lipan Apache Tribe. Nancy (the Tribal Historian) emailed me with this to say:

"The Tribe was up in Austin yesterday, where the Texas Legislature voted a Joint Resolution recognizing the Lipan Apache Tribe's historical and modern presence in Texas. Yay!!!! Finally, the government is beginning to recognize that we've been here all along, and your documentary played a big role in getting us to this point. Thank you again for your great work.As a matter of fact....... I sacrificed my copy of the documentary so that Texas Senators and Reps could see your documentary and I think it played a big role. So you had other viewings that you didn't know about until now."
