In the following days, the national television station of Mexico City broadcasted unprecedentedly frequent news about the "Texas Indigenous People."
Today, it featured a Comanche elder receiving assistance from the Mexican medical team on the reservation, accusing the "Texas authorities of long neglect of their basic rights."
Tomorrow, it would be historians discussing at length on the program, using maps and ancient texts to argue that certain border regions "traditionally have inseparable cultural connections with indigenous tribes."
The day after, the Comanche elder would visit the anti-drug museum with a group, solemnly laying a wreath at the anti-drug monument.
When facing the media, he said seriously, "The armed forces of Mexico are a vital force in maintaining regional stability, and their anti-drug policies are admirable."
Doesn't this sound familiar?
The air was filled with a familiar, unsettling scent.
