ABOUT INDIAN BY BIRTH
Stripped of their heritage language generations ago, the Lumbee Indians of Southeastern North Carolina carved out a unique dialect of English to maintain their distinctive cultural identity.

I’m Lumbee from Robeson County. I’ve been all over the U.S. I’ve been mistaken for Somoian, Mexican, Puertorican, Thai, and African American. All depending on what part of the country you’re in and what folks are use to seeing. But none of that matters to me as long as you know I’m a Christian and I’m trying to make Heaven my home. And it won’t matter what my neighbor there use to be here
Cheraw tribe is part of you blood I read.
To 1besieged
Yes that’s true
Amen
Preach it brother
Preach.
I am born and raised in RobCo...known Lumbees my whole life...best friend is a Lumbee. Great people, proud people...they get nothing but love from me!
and you will get stabbed at the powwow
Wow..there is alot of hostility in some of these comments...I am Lumbee and I am proud to be what I am...we are all God's children who bleed the same color of blood..."Can't we all just get along"...:-)
I know that's right 💪💪Ima Proud Lumbee from Robeson County myself ❤❤Wouldn't dare change it ❤
Native pride half blood my dad from Lumberton moved to Baltimore Md 50 plus years ago proud lumber here 💯🩸
I'm Lumbee, but I don't speak this way. I just recently moved to Hawaii and this reminds me so much of how my grandma and great aunt talked.
Rachel Oxendine me too i can just watch this video and my accent comes back from when i used to live in the county haha.. #lumfamily
Im part lumbee my great grandma and her mom and aunts talk like this but i dont some words i say but not all
That's heritage
We all around now ain't we?
@@djinnhaven3197 yeah bo!
I’m lumbee and I get respect. My family in 910 talked like this all the time and I just thought it was normal and I still do. I like the way they talk because it’s sparks up nostalgia for me back from when I was a kid.
I'm from Oklahoma and have a thick "Okie" accent. I love to hear other accents as it shows the richness of our heritage. Having an accent doesn't make one dumb. As Forest Gump said "stupid is as stupid does". So if a person having an accent, such as mine, doesn't do stoopid stuff, they aren't stoopid.
I'm with the English teacher he was talking about. I speak proper English when I talk to another firm or families at my job, but other than that I talk like Lumbee's do. It's just what I grew up hearing. I love my people!!!
Haters will only write what's in their heart. Indigenous peoples in the Americas come in all colors. Our ancestors fed the Europeans and taught them how to survive. When they first arrived.Then they took our lands, they then attacked our Culture and language. They mixed with us when it was convinient now the descendants of Europeans who have only been in this continent for few hundred years deny our indianess because we are mixed. We have ancestor who have been here for thousands of years.
wikipedia states in your area : 51% white + 48% black, and 1/2 % native american... so dna on Lumbees (I checked ) has African blood and white/ euro.. so unless you have the proper amount of blood to join tribe , then no one gets in a tribe..... some tribes have one drop rule.. Dawes list is one..
freedom of speech USA..
Blah ..blah..blah bullshit
I checked out a book on Lumbee history and it is so interesting! The Lumbee tribe was (according to historical evidence) likely 3 tribes that merged in the wake of colonialization. They used English as a way to communicate between tribes, that and the discrimination natives who spoke their language faced likely lead to its extinction but they still have a unique dialect and words. The Lumbee tribe also accepted runaway slaves. They haven't been federally recognized, not because of a lack of historical evidence but because of prejudice since they didn't fit the native stereotype (teepees, feathered headdresses etc) and because they lost their languages early on, which happened to many first contact tribes. I'm seeing some ppl claim the Lumbee arent native because they aren't federally recognized. Please educate yourself.
I love the Lumbee history especially from 1958. I was so happy and amazed to read of this event never taught to me in history class in high school. I may just be moving down there!
One thing I learned living in North Carolina... Never ever mess with a Lumbee
My family is from South Carolina. My dad told me that him, and his older brother knew these 4 Lumbee brothers, the Davis's. They told me that these guys used to go out on the weekends, and would come back with the side of the truck covered in blood. Those men used to get into serious fights, and fucked people up. The worst was Chris, he was a mountain of a man, and one of his hands was like two of mine. He was a bad dude. Even huge bouncers wouldn't fuck with him.
Dirty Dan Davis’
They are probably pissed because they are in the middle of a serious identity crisis
@@mshikendodem4316 I was typing in plural. Have you heard of the Davis brothers?
@@DirtyDan1 no I'm not some hick from robeson county. I'm especially not some pretindian lumbee either.
I am a black man that is a descendant of the croatian /lumbee tribe. My great grand mothers mother was named Ellen Robeson Cunningham. We have pictures of her, she was one of nine siblings who had been sent to Alabama in the late 1850's. Ellen became a slave and was married three or more times and had children by three different husbands due to being separated and relocated. Let me set the record straight, many run away slaves were welcomed into the Lumbee tribe. And any European mixed with black and native American may look like Louisiana creole, Puerto Rican or any mixed culture. they all have an identity.
Mayra Jones more like british ancestry...
Mayra Jones croatia is in europe dumb fuck
@@darthsoros787 Pretty clear he meant Croatoan. I is beside O on the keyboard.
Darth Soros Yeah you fuck nut
Well that doesn't apply now. I'm a black man from Wilmington living in Lumberton and shit is sad.
lumbee are always cool in my book...as a group of people they work hard to maintain community identity and educational aspirations. xoxo from raleigh nc
The man speaking about Heather Locklear not being a Lum...this is part of the reason the Native American people was destroyed.Its incredibly sad to know that all Native Americans, whether Cherokee, Chickasaw etc, couldnt put their differences aside and ban together as a whole to fight those who intended to destroy them as a whole. The blood that flows through our veins...this country has torn us apart, dont continue to do the same to those wanting to find their hidden past.
I agree my grandfather was one of the founders and teachers of Pembroke University which was the first native school in NC I may not be from there my blood runs thick through NC and SC and I love every one of them.
11 years late to this party, the reason people couldn't put aside everything to fight Europeans is because 100's of years of history dealing with people vs brand new people who had maybe never done you wrong yet. There is no overarching racial component to the systems and histories of tribes until the US government and Canadian government try to force it into that frame. Why would my tribe put there differences aside to push away the french who married them and learned the language, why would they push them away? Why would they not ally with the french against their enemies like they did? There was no "native American" there was community identities tied to language and culture and location
So happy to have found this little treasue trove of videos and watnot of Lum stuff. As a matter of fact in the above video at the 3mins and 17 second mark through to 3 mins and 24 secs that is my mom mom Myrtle i do believe in the background with the blue shirt, standin in front of the mirror, she crisses her arms at about 3 mins and 20 seconds. :)
It makes me so sad to see the hate amongst natives on this video. For being a mixed race or not Lumbee is a well recognized tribe and culture. As a Lumbee I love my tribe and where I come from, but I also love every other tribe and what we stood for through history.
Okay let's be 100% honest here lumbees have no language and no belief system they can hold up historical archaeology. On top of this predominantly the community when DNA tested was African and European with most being 2% or less Native American.
What does this all mean? They are undeniably NOT I Native American Tribe in any shape fashion or form.
@@reds7vn644 can you provide evidence to back your claims?
@@DatYungPrinc3 Sure, Okay let's be 100% honest here lumbees have no language and no belief system they can hold up historical archaeology. On top of this predominantly the community when DNA tested was 60+% African and 22+% European with most being 2% or less Native American.
What does this all mean? They are undeniably NOT I Native American Tribe in any shape fashion or form.
The other things that hurt them so much as the fact that they changed their name 6 times since 1911 they called themselves Croatan, Cherokee, Cheraw, Indians of Robeson County, Siouan and now Lumbee.
So if they're actually a tribe why continuously change your name trying to get Federal recognition???
This is very simple it's all for money. Don't let them fool you into thinking they just want recognition. They won't the federal land that they'll be given along with the casinos they can put on it so that they can make money that's what this is about. Accept it will never happen because they're not Native American as their DNA clearly shows. They are African and European mixed along with Asian Indian with an average across the board who have tested that are 2% or less Native American.
The "tribe" participated in a genealogy DNA test. The above percentages we're across the board. It showed that Lumbees are African mixed Europeans. A simple google search will yield those test and will Ancestry.com were Lumbee after Lumbee state that they aren't Native American or are 2% or less.
On top of this scientifically, archaeologically and through anthropology the Lumbee have no language, beliefs or tradition. They once claimed Lost Colony heritage until 1911.
Everything they do is stolen or copied from real tribes, mainly the Cherokee.
Let's not forget that they claimed they were Cherokee. But that was proven to be completely 100% false. Do it would be hard for them to give up all this stuff that they said was their heritage when it wasn't. So they just kept on with the lie.
Yeah I don't get it. The truth is, is a lot of "full-bloodeded" Indians, are part white or part black, this is especially true with the Cherokee Nation, and contrary to what some Eastern band Cherokee think, them too. Just because you have a certificate degree of Indian blood that says 4/4, doesn't make it true , the government hasn't always kept records of that. A good example of this would be the Poarch Band of Creek Indians. The tribe itself is mixed, this is not a secret to anyone, but you have to be a minimum of one-quarter to enroll in said tribe. Now, the way they describe someone as a quarter, is they made a roll, and everyone on that roll, is full-blooded, even if they're really not. Since there are so many tribes made up of nothing but mixed race people, I'm really hoping that the certificate degree of Indian blood is going to be a thing of the past. You shouldn't think of people in percentages, you can't prove or disprove someone's Indian Heritage by DNA, because that doesn't take culture into account. I don't care how much Indian blood Lumbees have or don't have, I think that they are culturally Indian.
@@reds7vn644 It's interesting you mention that, because there are some words that are clearly Siouan that seem to be related to Saponi, that some Lumbee seem to know. I just want to point out that Catawba is extinct, but no one is going up to Catawba and telling them that they're not really Indian because they don't have a language, and most of them are Mormon. just because the Bureau of Indian Affairs hasn't declared a group is Indian, doesn't mean they aren't Indian, remember the Bureau of Indian Affairs is telling them t that they already exist as a tribe, not making new ones. Although, as I read the petition from the Miami nation of Indiana and the rejection of the Federal recognition, I find the whole thing kind of suspect. Especially since the Miami Nation of Indiana has a treaty with the US government. Seriously, it seemed like the Miami, who are mostly Catholic, were denied Federal recognition, on the basis of not having their own church. There are groups of Cherokee in the Southeast, that can verify that they have a tribal government and have since before removal, that will never get Federal recognition because of the Cherokee Nation and the Eastern band of Cherokee Indians. The Lumbee certainly have the odds stacked against them , but the Monacan Indian Nation was given Federal recognition through legislation, and they have a harder time documenting Indian Heritage than the Lumbee, of course a lot of that was a racist name Walter Ashby Plecker, but still. I don't doubt that the Lumbees have black and white ancestry, and the truth is that a lot of times Indian ancestry is just not going to show up on a DNA test, but that doesn't change someone's culture, Lumbees have an Indian culture, not having their own language or their own religion isn't really that different than other Indian tribes. The Cherokee Nation has members that are 1/4096 Indian, but according to the Cherokee Nation and the federal government they're Indian, Do you really think that's going to show up on a DNA test?
if you are native you are winaq(the people) you come in different color and different dialect but we are all one people from peru thru the u.s. and to alaska all connected thru trade,history,spirit and blood,the re-birth of the winaq is to be one people with everything to offer to each other never forget each ancestor who gave there life for each tribe of people to survive its up to us to honor the blood spille so that are hearts can breath
Lumbees are the best people that have ever been. I love em. Gods people as far as I’m concerned. I love y’all thank you for being true to yourself.
At 2:01 in the video when they were letting some of the voices speak so you could hear the accents. The lady that was speaking, I can tell you right now that she did not say "When he got halfway" she actually said "When it got halfway" but they pronounce "it" like "hit". They don't say "it" they say "hit" and I only know that because I grew up in Robeson County. So she actually said "When hit got halfway" not "When he got halfway". Hit means It.
I've finally found proof I'm lumbee it been a long road and I'm not done walking it. I hope to reclaim what I lost. I thank the elders at standing rock that help me rekindle my search. I thank the technology that help my dad to find my roots. This year I hope to visit and maybe reclaim what was lost.
Stay proud and humble
Eddie Oxendine is my dad our family went back and forth to Fla. Dad was part of going to Washington and getting our tribe recognized. Do anybody who follows this post know my dad unfortunately I didn't meet him until I was 19 but have been all my life. Searching for my identity in Heritage. I belong to certain groups but would be interested in finding more like what I am listening to now if anybody can help me.
OMG YOU ARE SO RIGHT..
@c7standard Its very apparent that the lums are super intelligent! Weres and bes sounds very smart to me! Your a perfect example of how smart Lums are!
Represent your culture! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
My Great grandmother Clarice Coleman is from fairmont North Carolina robeson county to be exact and she is lumbee Indian. I dont know much about the culture but i just thought that basically they were indians from Lumberton NC. Really happy to get this info
My step mother would be related to your grandma. The Coleman family are all of native descent.
I love my people!!! Jones&Locklear Blood!!!!
The HAMMOND LUMBEE Family! In Here!
So where are the speakers?
Trail of Tears.. did the Lumbees participate ?
1besieged pick up a history book because that happened way out west STUPID FUCK
Nak..we didn't make our tribe up until after that happened
@@jayday9704ummmm it happened out East and Lumbee aren’t natives. So you should be calling yourself that.
That's right!
Sometime back, I found some documents online I don't remember if they were a PDF or what, about the Lumbee dialect , y'all know what I'm talking about? It was actually quite long.
Amen 🙏
Gundulić’s dialect of Croatian language has been used so I’m confident that the vessel had come from Dubrovnik.»
The following are some of the Croatian words used by the Croatan Indians from the above mentioned book:
INDIAN WORD - CROATIAN TRANSLATION - MEANING IN ENGLISH
Eunuk, Yonoke - Junak - Hero
Mojno - Mirno - Quiet
I dont care what nobody says im proud to be a lum even if. Were not full native and there are some that dont like black people but not all are that way..my grt grt grand daddy took in a few black people even bought land and gave to them..its not just your blood that makes u native its wats in ur heart
Best comment I’ve read so far. I appreciate your HONESTY.
lumbee pride
I seem to understand it and I lived in DC 95-14 down in the cut
I have much respect for the Lumbee People.
I married a Lumbee. We just had a baby boy this year and I'm very excited to have his heritage be a part of his life. :)
Heather Locklear is half Lumbee. Her dad is from Robeson County. Hence the name Locklear.
Lumbees are like Seminoles,is anyone gonna say they are'nt Natives because they're half African? Nope.
@83LV10Ram, you should be ashamed of yourself. Do you realize, these are people who have been oppressed for a very long time. Forced into Indian normal schools. I'm an attorney, I'm lumbee, and I grew up hearing this everyday and still speak like this around my family.
Keeeee KEeeeeeEE!!!
I don't think you understand. Where are the Lumbee Indian language speakers? Do you know what an Indian language is?
Lumbee is a name given to us by the white man to cover up our true identity. My family is dependents of the tuscarora I tracked it back to 1650.We do have native blood lines.
Lumbee language was stolen...many other countries coming to America traded on the coastal regions learned our language, resulting in our language being hijacked. Our language is comprised of Spanish, Bristish, Australian and more. My mother use to speak Lumbee, but not in school. Fast forward to now, americans who speak English are denying the Lumbees recognition because we don't have our own separate language and because of the rich bloodline of our people. Lumbees are the second largest American Tribe recorded-it is all about the MONEY....Denying the Lumbee People Respect and Big Reparation.
@@deebull3190 stop it smh
Being a Lum is just as hard as being a person from another country. Everyone looks at you with no respect. Its amazing how people today have no respect for natives. There is so much hate in their hearts. When we as a tribe among others have suffered all our lives just to exist. Yet our hearts still are filled with love and pride that will never die.
You are not a native american people, you are a mullattoe.
@Lewis C. You ain't Native American at all, you're white. Those are the people who killed Native Americans. If you think black is the problem, then your just a racist. Must be the white in ya.
I'm a white guy my mom married a black guy he was a all around good guy he taught me a lot about sports an he was a great cook an he was dentist we were on vacation an we stopped at a store in Pembroke for drinks an gas we were driving his Mercedes me him an my mom an it was a group of lumbees out seen my stepdad with us an attacked with racial slurs I was shocked they was actually talking about how he was dressed wich he dresses very well they acted like they wanted to run up but they found out quickly they would have been the wrong thing to do God was with them my hold LIFE growing up a black guy showed me an taught me to love every race I feel sorry for African American people around the robenson county area's my real father that is a kkk member he hates every1 that's not white but in robenson county u lumbees will lick lice off a white man cock when the Sioux Indians an other Indian tribes love they blacks an culture an a lot of u look white anyway y'all pick the brown1s an put them in the video an 1 more thing what's up with all the facial hair js

curious : my ancestry says nothing about me being indian or lumbee indian and my father is supposed to be lumbee indian from north carolina can someone maybe help out please and thanks
Sounds the way black southerners talk!
Yes! Illiterate
I hear dat.
what language??????
There are Lumbees that are not mixed much, if at all. My family is from Lumberton, but I met a mother & grown daughter years ago in the Triad of NC, who I could tell were Native American. When I asked politely what nation they were part of, expecting to hear Sioux or at least Cherokee, they said Lumbee. The daughter was smoking hot with long black hair & the mother looked like she came out of a John Wayne western. I guess they saw my surprise at their answer and said with a laugh, "Yeah, I think we are the last of the pure Lumbees." So to anyone who says they are not real Indians because they did assimilate and mix with the culture around them, I say you are an uninformed bigot.
Jean P.G. North Carolina needs to wisen up and strip them of their fake Native American identity
I am Cherokee, but my mom's cousin married and had kids with a Lumbee man... So, we got Lum's in the fam!
Does anyone if Karl Anothey Hunt is alive still in 2021? He my relative and I would love to get into contact with him.
Im a Lumbee in Robeson Country.
I just found out my family was from Lumberton , NC but I'm African American . Did they Intermingle with each other down there where I can have some Lumbee in me
Yeah there are lots of black lumbee
Cool thanks !
chile this aint nuttin but ebonics. we the same lol wel.. we been put the the same ish too
Gary Wayne hunt Lumberton North Carolina Lumbee Indian
Of course you can be lumbee because it's basically a bandwagon "tribe". No proof, no problem. No language, no problem.
my native american percentage is very small. only 4% of two tribes my mother has part Chickasaw very small and my father has part taino indian ancestry. im proud of it.
dont hate on us lumbees
Wow this is great my uncle married a Lumbee woman. We r black Tsaligi Cherokee and I remember the dialect well. I miss being in Pembrook. The world considers me a dark skin black woman and I'm proud of both bloods but, too hurt to go to homecomings now. I took my kids once when they were young. U don't need the White man to tell U who U are. I remember U well. Such beautiful ppl. I never felt hatred with U but I do with the Cherokee and whites I live among. Be blessed
What is tsaligi? If you were Cherokee then you would know the word is Tsalagi. And you would never say Tsalagi Cherokee because that doesn't make any sense. Nice try though. Just be proud of being black.
@@torque8118 these blacks read what cherokees write and think they can use it when they lie about being cherokee. LOL Natives can always tell how blacks lie.LOL
čwé’n... hujj nace, Skarò˙rə̨, nya:weh. Not all of us around here are Lumbee, and there is a language down here.Ooneh.
ARezFix sounds Tuscarora
It is
Is lumbee something referring to native americans
Yes. The Lumbee are a Native American community centered around Robeson County, North Carolina.
The Lumbee people definitely deserve recognition for their culture and language, but to say that I am not Lumbee because my parents lived far away from Robeson County and never taught me about Lumbee culture is just wrong on so many levels and reeks of selfish motives. The Lumbee have long struggled to attain their cultural identity in the eyes of the law, primarily because other NC Native tribes have sought to exclude the Lumbee. Now Lums in this video seek to exclude other Lumbee descendants because that are not as Lum as they are. How is that not racism? Has your struggle taught you nothing?
Sorry about your rude awakening, but....THERE IT IS, unfortunately.
Racism is a cancer that is rapidly destroying not only this great nation, but the entire world. Mankind will ALWAYS find ways to separate him/herself from the general population. The ONLY way this cancer will FINALLY be wiped out once and for all is when Yeshua(God almighty) makes His return. No worries, everyone...His return is coming SOON. 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Take the DNA test. I know Lumbees that have taken Ancestry DNA test. 0% Native American. 97% European 3% Sub African DNA don’t lie
@@joecraig68 Did you even watch the video? These people still want to exclude Lumbee if they don't live in Robeson county. Not sure DNA matters to them. btw, my Mom and me already did Ancestry DNA. Not too sure about results. Said my Mom was 12% German, but no German in my DNA. Sound accurate to you?
They aren’t native. They have no history. They speak like that because they are illiterate
That's not a native pronunciation, you can find it in Nova Scotia, South Carolina, Mexico...Sierra Leone, and Liberia.
SIDE/BOD OSES/WOSN'T is super duper old school tidewater creole English mixed with Geechee.

One of the best responses I’ve read on this thread👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Nayee
The artist is very hostile towards people who are Lumbee but don't live there. I am related to Linda Locklear and Doug Clark. I am as much as they are. Please don't be so hateful because in the last five years I started my genealogy and discovered my roots.
Some of us can't he help it! We just drop it like we fell it!
Proud Deese Lum
Lumbee is at least 50 percent something else.
Lumbee English sounds just like how old black folk talked in the deep south. I don't see how it's any different. Where is the actual Lumbee Indian language? Are there anyone who can still speak Lumbee?
If you go to a real tribe reservation, via: Navajo, Souix, Apache, etc… you’ll see why people are calling out these east coast tribe fake & how much they lying & taken advantage of being a fake tribe.

#ProudLumbeeIndianFromRobCo
@juunniie Yea im sure it Bes nothin to do with education!
This DOES sounds like Gullah. I'm from Georgia, and growing up I heard older Black men and women talk just like this. I talk like this a little bit. I've done as much Research about this "tribe" as I possibly could (Because my mother is originally from Robeson Co. and she told me that my Great Grandmother was Lumbee). I dont care to try to be accepted into the tribe, but I was curious about it. All my research from difference sources said the exact same things... They tried to claim to be a apart of various tribes. Im confused. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!
I'm lumbee and I may can help, the lumbee is a name bestowed in 1954, in an attempt to unify a unique name for us, it was also a nail in a coffin to any chance of every receiving federal benefits from recognition. Before the name we were tuscarora, allot still claim that, we are an amalgamation of different tribes with black, white, and possibly Portuguese blood with the majority of blood being skarure (which is tuscarora, but pronounced how it was originally). As far as the similarities with gullah, I'm not sure because when I first came to Charleston and heard the gullah accent it sounded nothing like my lumbee accent but I can tell you we never try and be anything else besides natives from Robeson county. All the name changing had a purpose, maybe an ill advised plan but there was a point to it, hope this helps.
+Kalimba Hamilton I am Gullah and these people sound nothing like Gullah people not ever kind of.
+Kalimba Hamilton
Kalimba, that is a beautiful name, the musical instrument, right? The Lumbee dialect doesn't sound like Gullah to me. Who are they? They're Tuscarora descendants, who have intermarried with other peoples over the last 4 centuries or so. Most Eastern tribes have done the same to one extent or another.
I've heard lumbee people talk and I have heard geeche people talk. The geeche sound almost Caribbean. The lumbees sound very stereotypically southern.
Jean P. G. BINGO! They are recognized by the state (all you need is a signed letter from the governor) but not the government. Some of them are Indians but this isnt a real tribe.
Does everyone say down yawnder or mostly just Lumbees?
like everyone down south lolol
Sein Maestro Apparently it shows up in the Bible a few times.

@cowbelltg could be true
stop disriminating against the lumbeees and learn your history
You do have african american blood in you
ONE looks NDN.
My girlfriend (now my wife) and I made a wrong turn in North Carolina in 1992 while driving from Northern Virginia to Myrtle Beach. We ended up driving through Lumberton, NC at night and it was the scariest damn place I had ever seen in my life. I was certain we were not going to make it out if I had had to stop and ask directions. I have never felt more like being armed in my life than that night. Holy crap what a scary s-hole.
thats because they ar black people and act like black people.

Do some Lumbees still live on the Reservation? My grandma was a Lumbee.
They have no reservations. They live in the slums. They aren’t native
The Lumbees have never lived on reservations. That being said, East Baltimore is known as the inner city reservation!

Like the lady says....Indians were threatened, villified, and often killed for speaking their languages and performing their cultural rituals. The Lumbee ARE Indians and deserve their rights respected as with other recognized Indians. The prohibitions to benefit allotment are arbitrary and totally WRONG. DNA is the ONLY way to prove origin. Demand and continue to demand your rights.
arbitrary and should be

I dated a lumbee and he looked black, hispanic mix to me, he admitted to the hispanic part.
1besieged they black but don't wanna face the facts 👌🏾👌🏾
Samuel Bell there not black dont have the features or hair.
black undertones in skin, i have eyes.. very full lips and wider nostrils , those are NOT characteristic of native americans as my dad was over 1/2 native, he looks like the Cherokee and Apache , he looks full blooded.. so no way do the native americans have black skin or undertones of such but RED skin, compared to whites our skin is actually RED..... no they have straight black hair (natives).
but some of the Lumbees do have afro hair and some straight,, they have Portuguese or something else, dna has Nigerian blood. that wikipedia has %'s and about 1/2 white and 1/2 black in Robeson and closeby areas... 1/2 % native americans reside in Robeson (and areas)... so they are mixed races w/ blacks, dna states such, how much I figure would depend on each person's gene pool, but many have the features of black people, I have eyes, i saw videos and photos, so it comes down to tribal heritage, anyone can say they are native american ... if you don't legally belong to a tribe , then you are Native American , period.
freedom of speech USA..
people we are not saying you don't have a band of peoples who connect but you gotta play by the rules, each tribe has rules to enter , blood quantum. any pack of people can band together and have a tribe.... but to be a legal native american , research your own heritage , proof is on birth certificates and NAMES ...
Cal the Goat right lmfao I got bullied by black people in school so that’s a got damn lie who would wanna be apart of that community any fucking ways especially if you’re gonna be hated on regardless .. my European consist of Spanish ancestry like the damn Navajos who are prettt damn close to Mexico.. and they are recognized federally , get the facts straight
Cheraw tribe recognition, sorry my error, thank you for correcting me.
Best of luck to you in your quest for Federal Recognition.
Well, this comment aged like milk.... 2020 wasn't all bad.
They're in South Carolina and they don't take any government handouts at, I have major respect for this tribe because they don't take out handouts from the government and they're thriving as a tribe
meg grotte , Robeson County in North Carolina
North Carolina idiot and they can't get government handouts because the government refuses to recognize them as a true Indian tribe because they have no Inuit DNA
Wheres all the Lumbee people commenting and telling me how wrong I am.i had one just threat about jumping me is all....whos that sound like in this country...lol what a bunch of identity crisis having people.keep up the good fight,oh wait did I tell you guys I'm actually a Martian.i want to be federally recognized for being from another planet..do it..do it now or ill cry and complain until I get my way..damn it...wtf...
And they reside in Lumberton hence the name Lumbee , Lumberton and Pembroke North Carolina And they do get grants from the government that's why when my best friend which is a Lumbee goes to Social Service for help with her bills or food stamp they send her to the Lumbee Tribe they get over 95 million a year !
If you know about the history of the N.A. people you know we were scattered by travels (to find jobs) and war, the white man, which is apart of us also.We are a people of many names and people (Red, Black, White) now and we cant forget that either, to deny one is to deny all. But to deny someone their heritage, or to think you know what one has been through, just because they arent apart of your community is very hurtful to those of us that have lived a life of not even knowing what we were.
Yeah right accept I'm First Nation obijway
LUMBEES ARE NATIVE AMERICAN
Me too but one of my parents are from Greece and the other one is from Italy...can I join?
