Located inside the city limits lies the autonomous Ysleta del Sur Pueblo Nation, with its own governing body. It is one of the few indigenous groups that have survived the historical disregard and abuse by the state of Texas. This tribe is one of the three Federally recognized Indian tribes in Texas. Very close to tribal lands is the sacred site of Hueco Tanks. The Tigua have been at their present location since a successful Pueblo Revolt of 1680 that forced the Spaniards and New Spaniards (future Mexicans) to retreat south to present day Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico and El Paso, Texas. The tribe is led by a governor who serves a term of two years. The current governor is Danny Senclare.
