Stronger Together,
Safer Together

The accepted translation of Tonkawa is a Waco term meaning, “They All Stay Together.” We are hard-working people. As we honor this translation, we are stronger together, safer together, and willing to roll up our sleeves for one another to preserve and progress our community.

NA•HO•N

NA•HO•N is the Tonkawa tribal word for home. Both the tribe and the city support the community and strive to create the best home for our future.
