Lucas Jiron

Lucas, Isleta Pueblo, is passionate about where he comes from and his traditions.

My tradition is very important me because mostly everyone in my family plays a very important part in our community-especially my Mom and Dad, they’re some of the most important people in our community. One personal attribute that I have is that I love to meet new people and I want my voice to be heard because I do love to talk about my tradition. I would also want other Native voices around the world to be heard and not to be afraid to talk about where you come from. Embrace your traditions and language!

We were always told that my great grandmother was apache. Her son,(my grandfather) and my mother half passed. And many of my elders have passed and the ones that are alive only recall that my grandfather did sing and speak in a native language when they were small. I understand that we are not recognized as native unless proved. But as far as the Apache being hunted. I feel like there aren’t any records even more so for the apache in Mexico. We know my grandmother was born in 1894 Guanajuato and passed in 1964 chihuahua. I guess my question is, how is there a way to research more Info in Mexico? And is there any help we can get.
