TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2025 

12:00 pm – 2:00 pm

LOCATION:  Gardens at Old Town, 15060 Antonio Drive, Helotes, TX 

SPEAKER: Richard A Gonzalez, Lipan Apache Band of Texas

PRESENTATION: "We Are Still Here"

In 1542, the Lipan Apache first saw Spanish conquistador Francisco Coronado De Vasquez traveling through Apache land in what is now New Mexico and Northwest Texas. The tribe was semi-nomadic, traveling for buffalo hunts and seasonal changes. For the next three hundred years, their relationship with the Spaniards, other tribes, and later, other European immigrants was fraught with tension and warfare.  

Mr. Gonzalez, General Council Chairman of the Lipan Apache Band of Texas headquartered in Bracketville, Texas, will give a presentation on the history of the Lipan Apache tribe and where they are today.

Join us for this fascinating and important topic.
