The decision by local officials in Presidio, Texas, to transfer back the cemetery is the latest instance of land being repatriated to Indigenous tribes -- a small victory in a movement that has been building across the nation.
In the middle of a small border town in West Texas sits an unassuming dirt mound dotted with piles of rocks, with just some wire strung between posts separating it from the road.
To the outside observer, the patch of land might easily be overlooked as part of the desert landscape.
