    American Indians in Texas at the Spanish Colonial Missions - Altar at Mission San Jose

    American Indians in Texas at the Spanish Colonial Missions

    (3 reviews)

    Mission Statement The Mission of the American Indians in…read moreTexas at the Spanish Colonial Missions is to work for the preservation and protection of the culture and traditions of the Tap Pilam Coahuiltecan Nation and other indigenous people of the Spanish colonial missions in south Texas and northern Mexico through: education, research, community outreach, economic development projects and legislative initiatives at the federal, state and local levels. San Antonio has the 10th largest population of urban Native Americans in the United States per capita. AITSCM strives to strengthen and enhance the ties Native Americans have to the practices that are universal to indigenous people, building on them to educate and inform others of their presence and history. AITSCM is a non-profit organization in the San Antonio area that provides: * Economical Development with Mission tours, native plants, native food café * Cultural Programs with dance, music, art, food * Languages for all ages with storytelling and instruction * Advocacy with both a youth and elder council for the missions, sacred sites, and Tap Pilam Coahuiltecan Nation. Family Health & Wellness: San Antonio Fatherhood Campaign Rites of Passage Healing the Wounded Spirit Indigenous Arts: AIT Dance Theater Yanaguana Singers Economical Development through Cultural Arts Civic Engagement: Native Voices Network Native Youth for Equal Voices REAL Dads (Resident Engaged Advocate Leaders) AITSCM hosts two Mission Heritage fundraising dinners each year... May is based on the Cactus Blossom and Dec is based on the Pecan. Dec 2017 Pecan Harvest dinner was held at Casa Hernan (a Chef Johnny Rodriquez Catering event venue) with plenty of food, drink, entertainment, and presentations... one in particular one honoring the Sisters of Incarnate Word for their help in preserving the Blue Hole Sanctuary... all of this for only $23... we got a steal of a deal that night! ... Plus lots of door prizes! One of the comments I caught that night is that the younger generations are not interested in keeping up the traditions (for various reasons)... if this keeps happening, the traditions of language, dance, art will be lost forever. This org is here to support the local Native American community and it really is up to us to support them as well. Yanaguana Mission Heritage Tours are also hosted by AITSCM. What better way to see the missions as to be guided by local decedents of the Missions. Private groups tour are available at $50 per person... or you can watch their site in case they may host a public tour which is happening Sat 17 Mar 18 $20 per person. This will be a #SA300 event. Oh and check my review here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/yanaguana-mission-heritage-tours-san-antonio The United San Antonio Pow Wow in Feb at Mission County Park was the perfect place to hold this event. Check the link for my review... https://www.yelp.com/biz/united-san-antonio-pow-wow-san-antonio . You will find AITSCM at all the local Pow Wows around town as well as other events, so be sure to stop by, say hi, and donate as much as you possibly can to this much needed organization for our community.

    I have been to the San Antonio missions on many occasions, but today I went on a guided tour by the…read moreAmerican Indians in Texas at the Spanish Colonial Missions (AITSCM) and it really was awesome. They didn't focus too much on the architecture, etc., instead they focused on what life was really like for the American Indians and the cultural issues that still exist today. A lot of history was covered, and they spoke about their current mission to bring cultural awareness to the public and the descendants of the American Indians who lived and worked at the missions. We met at Mission San Jose and after touring that one, we boarded a bus for the other three missions. Ramon was our guide and it is obvious he has a passion (and a wealth of knowledge) about his ascendants and passing the culture on to future generations. We learned SO much that we never knew about. At the end of the tour, his mother had some cultural dishes prepared for us to sample and they were REALLY good. Ramon and his sons also sang a couple of traditional ceremonial songs and performed a ceremonial dance to one of them. Keep in mind, the American Indians of South Texas were not like the stereotypical American Indians you see in the movies and on television. Don't expect to see what you have seen in pop media. Ramon, his mother, and his sons are all AWESOME. To sum it up, I have to say I came away with a lot of new knowledge and was very enlightened. In addition to the mission tours, this organization hosts several other events throughout the year. Check out their website for more information.

    We are in 2026. Reviews from previous years praise the school. Yes, it was a fine school once! BUT,…read moreand this is a BIG BUT, it is no longer Montessori! Everyone BE AWARE of this fact!!! Country Day Montessori of San Antonio TX was sold over Summer of 2025, because the previous owner was diagnosed with cancer and they needed to sell the school because they needed the funds. The new owners are NOT INTERESTED IN MONTESSORI EDUCATION and are NOT USING THE MONTESSORI EDUCATION SYSTEM! This IS NO LONGER A MONTESSORI SCHOOL! Most qualified Montessori teachers left because the school switched to traditional education and is leaving Montessori behind. They hired traditional teachers who have NO IDEA what Montessori education is! Beware that Country Day Montessori of San Antonio TX is NO LONGER using Montessori!!! Country Day Montessori of San Antonio TX is now a HORRIBLE school! This may sound harsh, but that is the truth and reality: IT'S HORRIBLE! Most committed, dedicated parents are aware of these changes, and some, who have had their children at Country Day Montessori for 3 and 4 years have decided to leave, and put their children in other schools! They are charging top prices for Montessori education and provide NO Montessori education! This is FRAUD! STAY AWAY! Look for another school! If you want Montessori education, THIS IS NOT IT!!!

    This school is wonderful and successfully implements the Montessori method. They are kind and…read morepatient with the children. All of the staff is helpful, and together they generate a community and environment that encourages emotional and educational growth for children. I highly recommend this school.

He told me that since it was two pieces, the cost could be $169 dollars. He said that if I spoke with the drivers, they may lower the cost. I scheduled a pick-up between 6:30 & 8:30pm that evening. The young men arrived. They were very polite and professional. One came to me with a clip board and told me for two pieces, the price was $269! I told him what their constituent told me. They said he does that all the time and it causes problems with customers. I told him to let the guy who answered the phone pay the extra $100! I was angry that I had been lured into a pick-up only to extend the price. The driver told me he was going to take a picture and call his manager to see if they could lower the price. He walked on the other side of the truck, presumably made a call. He then told me he was unable to get ahold of his manager and offered $200. I said no! Then he said he would give me his "personal discount" and make it $180. I finally said okay just to get the furniture off my curb. If a neighbor would have called the police, I then would have had a citation fee. They took the couch and loveseat, but is cost me! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. The antics were a financial jigsaw puzzle. They take advantage of customers. Not a great way to do business. I WILL NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN. I've already been asked about their service by another person and told them to find another company for these reasons.
