Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo

Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo will support the preservation and instruction of Indigenous education through educational programs. The Library Center will deliver the Tiwa Loteria Game to enhance family relationships and incorporate learning the Tiwa language into play. Like Bingo, the game will incorporate culturally relevant content, English to Tiwa translations, and artwork created by tribal youth. The Library Center will also commission tribal youth to design a Department of Tribal Empowerment Library Center Calendar that promotes academic and culturally significant events while teaching the Tiwa language. The project will prioritize cultural education and exposing the tribal community to the Tiwa language while improving family bonds and engaging youth.
