THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2001 The combination of Catholic and Native traditions was evident as the Tiwa community in Las Cruces, New Mexico, celebrated the feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe on Wednesday. The feast was the culmination of a three-day event, including dances honoring the patron saint of Indians in Mexico, for the community. The community was established after Tiwa ancestors in central and northern New Mexico fled to points south during and after the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. Some settled in Las Cruces and formed a community of other tribes including the Piro and Manso. The tribes have been seeking federal recognition. Others settled in El Paso, Texas, where the Tigua Tribe was restored recognition in 1987. Get the Story:
