A Texas official demanded removal of an Alamo Trust post honoring Indigenous Peoples Day, leading to its deletion and debate over historical representation.
A social media post by the Alamo Trust recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day sparked political backlash in Texas, prompting General Land Office Commissioner Dawn Buckingham to demand its removal, calling it inconsistent with the site’s legacy and aligned with "woke" ideology.
The post, which highlighted Indigenous history and announced plans for an Indigenous Peoples Gallery in the 2027 museum, was deleted within hours.
Critics, including former San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, condemned the response as a political overreach, emphasizing the importance of inclusive historical narratives.
The Alamo Trust apologized and pledged improved content oversight, while the GLO reaffirmed its commitment to the 2015 guiding principles, which call for telling the full history of the site, including Indigenous presence.
The upcoming museum will feature multiple galleries, including one dedicated to Native peoples, as part of a broader effort to balance historical accuracy with diverse perspectives.
