Hays County Judge Creates Historical Council

Hays County Judge  Ruben Becerra formed the Council for the Indigenous and Tejano Community (CITC) in response to a community desire to address a multitude of undertold and untold Indigenous and Tejano stories.

According to Becerra’s Office, CITC’s mission is to preserve the history, traditions and rich culture of Indigenous and Tejano people of Hays County through oral histories, art and culture. They plan to work closely with the Indigenous Cultures Institute throughout their process.

“I am creating this council because much help is needed in telling these stories,” Becerra said.
