Ramon Vasquez spokesman for the Tap Pilam Coahuiltecan Nation highlights the importance of preserving and respecting cemeteries and ancestral remains, particularly those in the Alamo mission. He emphasizes the need to create laws in Texas to protect these cemeteries and compares the treatment of the first Catholic cemetery in Texas to that of a slave cemetery in New York City. Vasquez stresses the importance of telling the true and complete history of historical sites, such as the Alamo, to appreciate the cultural exchange and coexistence between different cultures. Lastly, Vasquez expresses his concerns about the under-representation of historically important figures in the Alamo Cemetery and the need for recognition and respect of the heritage and culture of American Indian tribes not recognized by the government.
