The Texas Commission for Indian Affairs was created in 1965 by the
59th Legislature, House Bill 1096, Regular Session, to take over all
responsibilities for the Alabama-Coushatta Indians. Prior state administration
for the Alabama-Coushatta Reservation began in 1930. In that year the state
began making appropriations for the reservation and designated the State Board
of Control as the supervising agency. In 1950 this responsibility was
transferred to the newly-created Texas Board for State Hospitals and Special
Schools. The federal government relinquished federal control over the tribe in
1955. In 1965, the Board was abolished and all responsibilities for the
Alabama-Coushatta Indians were transferred to the Commission for Indian
Affairs. This Commission was composed of three members, appointed by the
Governor, with Senate approval, to six-year overlapping terms. A chairman was
elected by the members for a two-year term.
The initial responsibilities of the Commission were to develop human
and economic resources of the reservation and assist the Tribal Council--the
governing body of the Indians--in making the reservation self-sufficient.
Specific goals were to improve the health, educational, agricultural, business,
and industrial capacities of the reservation. A superintendent was appointed by
the Commission to manage and supervise the reservation, subject to policy
directives of the Commission.
Throughout the years additional responsibilities were given to the
Commission. In 1967 the state recognized the Tigua Indians of El Paso as a
Texas Indian tribe. The 60th Legislature passed House Bill 888, Regular
Session, transferring all trust responsibilities for them to the Commission. In
1968 the federal government recognized the Tiguas as a Texas tribe and
transferred all responsibilities to the state. The Commission assisted this
tribe--now the Tigua Reservation--in the same manner as it did the
Alabama-Coushatta Reservation. In 1975 the 64th Legislature, through House Bill
393, Regular Session, changed the agency's name to the Texas Indian Commission.
An executive director was appointed by the Commission to manage, supervise, and
implement Commission policies. This director, in turn, appointed a
superintendent at each reservation to work with the Tribal Councils in carrying
out programs and policies of the Commission. Executive Directors for the Indian
Commission serving during the time periods covered by these records were Walt
Broemer, late 1960s-1982, formerly the Superintendent of the Alabama-Coushatta
Reservation; and Raymond Apodaca, 1982-1989, former Superintendent of the Tigua
Reservation.
Responsibilities for another Indian tribe were added in 1977. Senate
Bill 168, 65th Legislature, Regular Session, recognized the Traditional
Kickapoo Indians of Texas (Eagle Pass area) as a Texas Indian tribe. The bill
mandated the Commission to assist these Indians and state-chartered intertribal
Indian organizations in applying for and managing--jointly with the
Commission--federal funds and programs and private funds, for improving the
health, education, and housing standards of these Indians or increasing their
economic capabilities. In 1979 an Attorney General Opinion, MW-49, declared
this bill unconstitutional, an action that was especially detrimental to the
Kickapoos. The Kickapoo and the state-chartered organizations were not
federally recognized at this time, therefore Attorney General Mark White
determined the Indian Commission (TIC) could not assist them because the TIC
was only empowered to assist federally recognized tribes and organizations.
This determination began a move to get federal recognition for the Kickapoos.
In 1982, they were recognized as an official sub-group of the Oklahoma Kickapoo
Indian Tribe, enabling them to acquire their own reservation, under control of
the Bureau of Indian Affairs instead of the state of Texas.
In addition to individual Indian tribes, several intertribal Indian
organizations exist in Texas. One organization well-represented in these
records is the Texas Intertribal Housing Agency. In 1976-1977 the Indian
Commission joined with the Dallas Intertribal Center to form the Texas
Intertribal Housing Agency. This agency worked to provide safe and decent
housing for non-reservation low-income Indians through HUD (Housing and Urban
Development) programs .
Another Indian related organization that the state of Texas and the
Indian Commission became involved with was the Governors Interstate Indian
Council. This organization was formed in 1949 and provides a venue for states
(including Texas) with higher Indian populations to get together and discuss
Indian issues and state-tribal relations. This organization met annually, and
the state sent delegates to most of these conferences. In the mid 1960s Walt
Broemer, the Superintendent of the Alabama-Coushatta Reservation, later TIC
Executive Director, was the chair of this organization; in the late 1980s Ray
Apodaca, TIC Executive Director, was the President of the Council.
The tribes began a move in the mid 1980s to have the their trust
responsibilities transferred back to federal control. The federal government
passed a law on August 18, 1987, reassuming responsibility for the Texas Indian
tribes. This eventually contributed to the demise of the Indian Commission. The
Commission was due for Sunset Review in 1989. Three bills--House Bill 858,
House Bill 1252, Senate Bill 481--were introduced in the Legislature to
continue the Commission's existence and all three failed. The Texas Indian
Commission was abolished September 1, 1989.

Records present in these files include correspondence, reports,
minutes, legislation, financial materials, clippings, articles, brochures,
announcements, notes, and other materials. Dates covered are 1957-1989. This
body of records covers the entire existence of the Texas Commission for Indian
Affairs and its successor, the Texas Indian Commission (TIC), reflecting the
operations of the agency as it worked with the Alabama-Coushatta, the Tigua,
and the Kickapoo tribes; with intertribal organizations in the state; and with
the Governors Interstate Indian Council; its role in effecting passage of state

Topics covered in these records include appropriations and other
finances; grants; legislation; social and economic issues such as education,
alcoholism and other health concerns, housing, economic development and job
training, sale of Indian arts and crafts, and tourism; cultural issues such as
the burial and exhibition of Indian remains and funerary objects, and
establishing Indian ancestry; legal status of Indian lands; recognition of the
Kickapoo Indians; restoration of the federal trust to the Alabama-Coushatta and
Tigua tribes; continuation of the Texas Indian Commission, and routine
administrative tasks.
To prepare this preliminary inventory, the described materials were
cursorily reviewed to delineate series, to confirm the accuracy of contents
lists, to provide an estimate of dates covered, and to determine records
types.

General correspondence,
1966-1989,
9.5 cubic ft.
|
| This series consists of incoming and outgoing letters and
memoranda, generally to/from the Executive Director of the Texas Indian
Commission. Also present are reports, brochures, publications, announcements,
copies of printed materials, press releases, and other items. Dates covered are
1966-1989. Topics discussed include appropriations and other finances; grants;
TIC meetings; legislation; social and economic issues such as education,
health, housing, economic development, sale of Indian arts and crafts, and
tourism; cultural issues such as the burial and exhibition of Indian remains
and funerary objects, and establishing Indian ancestry; legal status of Indian
lands; recognition of the Kickapoo Indians; restoration of the federal trust to
the Alabama-Coushatta and Tigua tribes; continuation of the Texas Indian
Commission, and routine administrative tasks. Throughout the years several
filing systems were used, reflecting chronological arrangements and/or ordering
by correspondents. Several subseries have been created which reflect these
arrangements--Commissioners' correspondence, General correspondence and reading
files, Government agencies, Indian Commissions in other states, Indian agencies
and non-profit groups, and Ray Apodaca (TIC Executive Director). Several
subseries overlap in date coverage, primarily fiscal years FY 82 - FY 84, so
researchers need to check several subseries, primarily Commissioners' correspondence, 1966-1989; General
correspondence and reading files, 1974-1984, undated; and
Government agencies' correspondence, 1982-1989 to
locate correspondence from this time. Dates given in most series are for fiscal
years. |
