My Family Story by Roel Gabut-Rivas https://padlet.com/10507642/narz7u308b0a42zq en-us 2022-05-18 18:37:16 UTC 2025-10-24 14:18:36 UTC hello@padlet.com How and why did your family come to the United States? 10507642 https://padlet.com/10507642/narz7u308b0a42zq/wish/2190018962 To be honest I'm not completely sure when my family got into the United States. The earliest family member that I know about is my 5x great grandpa. He was a Native American and part of the Payaya tribe. So technically my very late ancestors arrived in America about 15,000 years ago, but the tribe that he was in settled in the present day San Antonio area before 1718 (According to Texas State Historical Association). I have no clue on why they came to America. Besides them coming here because they followed the animals they hunted for food. ]]> 2022-05-18 18:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/10507642/narz7u308b0a42zq/wish/2190018962 What were the obstacles they faced? 10507642 https://padlet.com/10507642/narz7u308b0a42zq/wish/2190051396 Racism, their land being stolen, slavery, and being forced to learn European values, language, and religion. Other than that I'm not sure. ]]> 2022-05-18 19:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/10507642/narz7u308b0a42zq/wish/2190051396 What was going on historically in the U.S. during this time and did it affect your family. 10507642 https://padlet.com/10507642/narz7u308b0a42zq/wish/2190055790 Since I'm not sure when my oldest ancestor was alive, I'm not sure what was going on in the U.S., but assuming it was after 1888 (The year the camera was introduced to the U.S.), I could assume World War 1 or at the latest the Great Depression. ]]> 2022-05-18 19:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/10507642/narz7u308b0a42zq/wish/2190055790
