We honored to be hosting an opening reception for the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo exhibit on Saturday, September 20, from 10am to 2pm MDT. "Shimba Tainin kau natheure wein" is the Tiga language interpretation of “Land of the People.” Members of the tribe will be present and there will be events during the reception.
The display for Ysleta del Sur Pueblo will be within "Land of the People" from September 6 to November 29.
Located south of downtown El Paso, Texas, the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo is one of only three federally recognized tribes in Texas and the only pueblo in the state. We invite you to discover more about the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo’s rich history, culture, and ceremonies.
Within the "Land of the People: Shimba Tainin kau natheure wein - Sacred Grounds - Ndende bì Ke’ya - Naf'ole atsihem - Nde benah - Ndee Biyááh" exhibit at the Branigan Cultural Center, a secondary, rotating gallery allows each Indigenous group to go deeper into their unique stories.
This secondary rotating space changes every 12 weeks, which allows each Indigenous group to go deeper into their own unique stories, traditions, and perspectives. The exhibit sequence is as follows:
Ysleta del Sur Pueblo September 6 –November 29, 2025
Pueblo of Tortugas December 20, 2025 – March 14, 2026
