Star file photo With the formal establishment of the Council for the Indigenous and Tejano Community (CITC) now a reality, the Hays County community has taken time to reflect on its historical significance, the struggles endured to reach this point and the work that lies ahead. The council's goals are to tell undertold, written and oral Indigenous and Tejano stories along with providing cultural education and art projects. Tejano is defined as a Texan of Mexican descent and is viewed as an integral part of understanding Texas culture. The establishment of the CITC was made due to the Hays County Historical Commission (HCHC) not having the full capability to support an Indigenous and Tejano committee.Â
