Calmecac Indigenous Organization began in 2014 in Houston, Texas with classes becoming available to the public, building awareness to contemporary ceremonial life ways which are known as living the "path of the red road".
This structure of following the guided paths of traditional lineages with teachers and elders working together to maintain dignity and respect, while working with the youth, fosters awareness and passes oral traditional knowledge.
 

 Calmecac Indigenous Organization is a group of multi-disciplinary artists, traditional dancers, community members and families representing Houston's diverse Indigenous community. The board is also comprised of descendants of local southern plains Native Americans of Texas and various Indigenous peoples of North and South America.  Its members collectively embody over 100 years of experience in Native American ceremony and traditions with a long history of collaboration with various Texas-based Indigenous groups.

Since 1994, its elders and members have connected with and educated the community in sharing oral traditional knowledge and customs from the north and the south through workshops, residencies, and performances throughout the greater Houston area and around Texas, California, and Mexico.

The historical Dimond Knoll site was discovered in 1996 in northwestern Harris County; and archaeologist's claimed it as one of the oldest digs found in North America dating from 10,000 to 14,000 years ago.  These stone age human remains found with fragments of bison teeth, ceramics and hunting darts became the largest excavation into an Early Archaic Age acknowledging Paleo-Indian occupation in Southeast Texas.
