In the hope to draw awareness to these issues, I helped create a cultural exhibit of the work histories of the Lumbee and

Third, in 1956, Congress recognized the tribe, but did not “acknowledge” them. The Lumbee were called Indians, but they were not “Indian-enough” to form a government-to-government relationship with the United
American Indians had been living in North Carolina for at least 9,500 years before European explorers first encountered them in the 1520's.
