Who is Sirena?

The legend of Sirena can be found in many countries and in many cultures, to include the Chamorro culture of Guam, the Filipino culture, and even many Native American tribes have varying versions of the tale of Sirena. The Tonkawa, who once lived in the Central Texas Area, are one of these tribes.  According to the Tonkawa Legend, Sirena was tricked into becoming a mermaid by a magical catfish in return for helping her win the heart of a warrior.

Along with the many legends of Sirena throughout the world, there are also many statues to honor these legends. If you are lucky enough to be in the Central Texas area, you can view one of these statues. A beautiful bronze sculpture of Sirena mermaid sits at Sirena Park in Salado, TX. Sirena was the creation of local artist, Troy Kelley, in 1986. The inspiration for his creation of Sirena came from his grandmother who told him of the Tonkawa Native American legend as a young child.
