The Tigua Tribe of Texas has rejoined the All Indian Pueblo Council after an absence of 329 years.
The Tiguas used to live in present-day New Mexico but moved to present-day Texas following the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. They sought to rejoin AIPC and were officially welcomed on Monday.
"This is a historic event," Tigua Councilman Jose Lopez told The El Paso Times. "The Tiguas have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."
The Pueblo tribes formed AIPC in the 1598 to address common issues and to deal with Spanish settlers and other tribes.
