5	5	WHEREAS, The House of Representatives of the State of Texas
6	6	is pleased to recognize the Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas; and
7	7	WHEREAS, The Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas is the present-day
8	8	incarnation of the clans, bands, and divisions historically known
9	9	as the Lipan Apaches, who have lived in Texas and northern Mexico
10	10	for 300 years; and
11	11	WHEREAS, The Lipan Apaches have a culture rich in tradition
12	12	and a heritage that has been handed down from one generation to the
13	13	next; they have maintained their sense of community from the days of
14	14	treaties until the present day despite social, economic, and
15	15	military instabilities; and
16	16	WHEREAS, The Lipan Apaches have enjoyed government to
17	17	government relations with Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the
18	18	United States of America, and the State of Texas; these relations
19	19	have taken the form of treaties, alliances, and pledges of
20	20	friendship; and
21	21	WHEREAS, The Lipan Apaches have faithfully served when called
22	22	upon to bear arms in protection of their fellow Texans and
23	23	Americans; the tribe honors many veterans who served as scouts in
24	24	World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq; the Tribal
25	25	Shield of the Lipan Apache proudly flies beside the American flag in
26	26	Afghanistan, where one of the Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas warriors
27	27	is serving on his second tour; and
28	28	WHEREAS, The Lipan Apaches of today continue to serve their
29	29	communities as police officers, ministers, nurses, and school
30	30	teachers and in many other occupations that speak to integrity and
31	31	fidelity of service to others; and
32	32	WHEREAS, The treaty closest to the heart of the Lipan Apache
33	33	is the Live Oak Treaty of 1838; the promises of "Peace and Perpetual
34	34	Friendship" live today as they did when President Sam Houston and
35	35	the Lipan Apache pledged this commitment to one another; now,
36	36	therefore, be it
37	37	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
38	38	Legislature hereby recognize the Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas and
