They find out about the Native Americans who lived in the area before Spanish missionaries arrived, and how the Alamo and four other Spanish missions still stand along Mission Trail. They find out about people from many other countries who have also influenced the city, including Germans, Greeks, and Chinese, which is celebrated by San Antonio s Institute of Texan Cultures.
