The Inter-Tribal Council of American Indians opposes any changes to Alamo or Valero Plaza by the Current Mayor or Current City Council. Perhaps changes need to be made. Why in the world would the White Man lackeys violate a Texas Shrine in this manner. Having been involved in the first Indian uprising in the 90's, I continue to have a personal and family interest in Alamo Plaza and the Alamo Church as every San Antonian should have. I have a FIRST COUSIN, ISSAC RYAN, who died in the battle. He was from Lake Charles, La. My 3rd Great Grandfather was Jeremiah Goins and not only was he an original Texas Pioneer, but also an Indian representative for General Sam Houston with the Lipan Apache during the war. I have family connection with Ben Milam and helped bury him (the 2nd time) with Bob Benevides, Xavier Delapass and others across from Santa Rosa Hospital in the 90's. This is an outrage and a serious situation. Best, Gary J. Gabehart, Indian at the Alamo.
