Lumbee Indian tribe of NC.. Our people must stand up and stand strong❤Lumbee Born, Lumbee bread, when I die I'll be Lumbee Dead 👏👏👏
& N hell too 4 lying. Liars will not B N the Kingdom of God & so called lumbee R lying that they are a Native American tribe & proof is N the DNA technology that proves that so lumbee have zero American DNA.
They sure stood up and stood strong at Hayes Pond. 👍
@@bobmarlowe3390 All it shows is that this group of fraudulent Indians desperately want the government 2 believe their lies, that they have American DNA, but the government know, that these ppl have zero N.A. DNA.
Amen❤
Thanks for this excellent piece!
Anyone interested in learning about tri-racial mixing in the Southeast, should check out the work of Dr. Warren Milteer, Dr. Arvin Smallwood, & others

Can we please get some help with the Indian mound being destroyed in Graham North Carolina?
Interesting
My eyes react to a ring on any women's finger if they have native or Indigenous descent. I might have matrilineal descent of chief Powhatan s descent or Seneca decent or Croatian descent or cheraw descent. I was born in Lumberton NC in 1975. But there is new research about DNA from the altai region in Russia about denisovan DNA that affects native lip shapes. I actually might have half Russian twins and a set of twins in Mississippi. I might have a blind haired blue eyed daughter too last name Campbell. Her mom was not supposed to be anywhere near me if she is her mom. She showed up once she found out I might have famous relatives like she always does. Her name is Lucy Lindbergh but she might have changed it by now. She was seen on the same bus as Mr recently here in Birmingham Al. She was the one misusing my identity all those years ago or someone she knows.
Arent these nAtives mixed with the english settlers of 1578?
yep....
You mean the lost roanoke colony? No one knows
Yes, I am interested in the story seems like we would never know... damn paintings
The Lumbee people have no connection with the Roanoke colony and actually the Lumbee people are made up of different splinter groups from tribes like the Tuscaorara, Cheraw, Saponi, Nanesmond, etc. The Lumbee people actually have some of the strongest blood quantum with most members having 75% or higher.
@@wampum5807 Wrong! they are not mixed with any native americans. Their own lumbee DNA project showed that none of them had any native american DNA. it shows that they had only African and European. They are rascally scheming Native American Identity Thieves. Not Native Americans at all, just copying the regalia and dances, and history off of other tribes, but can't make up a language. they copy off of other tribes and say their language was ripped from them, but even then other tribes always remember many words, but not them, because they never had a language to begin with because they are just descendants of Free Black men and white women who left VA. Their genealogy is traced back to VA. do your research
I'm confused like a mofo right now, are the Indians white? I don't mean any harm I've just always saw paintings and pictures of dark skinned Indians and i had no idea that they are this shade
What makes you think all Natives are dark skin, the old pictures, is the world is supposed to be dark skin vs light skin to you, what? The oldest photos are "blue-light sensitive" which makes the color red, reddish brown or maroon appear very dark while it makes the color blue appear very light. So a Native with a tan usually has a reddish brown skin tone, so of course they're going to look darker in a photo from a blue-light sensitive camera.
And guess what else? Half of the Native Population are mixed blood in North America. In fact most Blacks and Whites are mixed race. What are the Natives supposed to run out the mixed light skin Natives? Might is well run out the Natives who are mixed with Black too while you are obsessing about skin color. Full blood Natives can by any shade of brown or reddish brown depending on the region of the Americas. Tropical Natives living in warm humid or tropical climates tend to be dark skinned. Northern Natives tend to be light brown to medium brown. All Natives can have a reddish brown tan during the summer months.
If you want to get into phenotype, well than the tropical Natives usually have wide nostrils or broad nose, while the northern Natives have a more narrow nose. Then we have the plains Natives and some Amazonian Natives who always seem to be confused with Asians. Does that answer any of your concerns and questions?
@@Thomas_Oklahoma it's nice to see someone talking with some sense around here .
Well Native americans can be light or dark depends on the specific region they’re from bc some are from colder or hotter areas. Also a lot of us that are native have some white ancestry bc of colonization so that can add to why some are lighter.
@@Thomas_Oklahoma love your comments I just subcribed to you!
As long as the Lumbee or any other Native American group is not a Trumpist I consider a very good friend or acquaintance of mine ,then we good since I strongly dislike that man
Weird thing to be hung up on.
I’m a member of the #CoharieTribe my cousins are LUMBEE Ive always said no matter if your Native American Or not everyone needs to experience a Pow wow & those Fired Beard & Collard Sandwich 🥪 Happy Native American Heritage Month 2020
Agreed! And YES to more Collard Sandwiches!!!!
@@grayman735 I'm glad you've discovered this part of yourself, that's a true gift! it's never too late to continue the journey of self-discovery, and YES, definitely attend a pow wow once they are running again. Thank you for sending this note.
@@Travelbarefeet1 thank you🤗
The things they eat like fried Collard Sandwiches are things Black people eat.
@CarolinaChris 26 , a good friend of mine is Saponi and she's active in the Guilford Native American Association in Greensboro. The Pow Wows are always enjoyable.
These are so good, it should be on national TV or something :)
;-) xoxox
Stay strong Lumbee!! coming from your black american brotha!!
They don't u coming around because they don't U mixing up their European DNA with any Negro DNA.
My name is Kirston Hunt and I'm so proud to be a lumbee Indian
Thanks I stay here in Pembroke and I wish we could get more recognition for our Lumbee People!!!
@@KirstonHunt Yes, 100% agreed!!
@@Travelbarefeet1 👍👍👍👍👍
Also from the Pembroke area, and I agree we need to be unified as a tribe to continue the fight for federal recognition
Fellow lumbee native❤️

Pilahuk Wiyesa! Monacan and Tuscarora here!
Trying 2 find my lumbee relatives who were Locklear and lowery from Robenson County who should I speak two anyone know
Embroidery, quilting... It’s a part of history here that no one pays attention to...
No disrespect to the Lumbee natives but you can tell that they have black or African in their blood line. They look like any other family member at a black family reunion.
No disrespect, do you do do other videos of native tribes and point out the WHITE natives? Of course not, dummy.
@@kingmiller1982 no I don’t, they don’t look like their mixed with black. My coworker is from lumberton and his whole family is mixed with black. That’s why the lumbee’s weren’t recognized as a tribe because of that. They just got recognized by the government not too long ago. Don’t be ashamed of the black blood running through your veins.
Lumbee tribe has been federal recognized since 1956 the Lumbee Act under the Eisenhower administration...Over 400 years of foreign contact all the East Coast Natives are mixed with Euro-Afro etc.etc. Especially the Cherokee see the Cherokee Freeman their former slaves followed them on the trail of tears and remained Cherokee until they were kicked out because of limited federal funds . All the East Coast Natives, here in New York they invited me to Pow Wows and Long House meetings and tell me don't be surprised if our tribal members don't look as Native as you do. The Seminole are definitely mixed..over 400 years of foreign contact..Let the haters hate at the end of the day, that is all you have. LMAO 😂
Social literature, repeating what " They say " well they say a lot things don't they
@@phillipdinan my coworker grew up 5 miles outside of lumberton and he personally told me that, as he is mixed with Native American blood. That’s a reliable source not what they say.
Thank you for visiting my county and culture not many people care to learn anything about us. We are still here ✊🏽
I do. . . What town in N.C. has the high population of Lumbee??
666xHARDCOREx Pembroke N.C.
Cool. . . Now I will look forward to visit that place.
Thank YOU! I hope to go back again soon!
man I never grew up with my dads family an they didnt stay with the culture I guess so I got robbed , Im related to all these people but prob not ever gonna be a part of my culture as some natives dont want to accept folks a from family they moved away from it.
I wouldn't give up so soon - maybe once the powwows start again after COVID, you can attend and connect with all of these people and reconnect with your culture and your family. They were very welcoming to me, I don't see why they wouldn't be to you! I hope you can experience the powwow once it is back, it really is wonderful!
A lot of my family on my mothers side is from Robeson SC and born on the Native reservation in the 19th century. I had no idea of this knowledge until my grandmother and great grandmother passed recently
I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm so glad you're discovering your own heritage - it's filled with beautiful traditions and culture
There's no reservation there. Never has been . And it's Roberson County, NC, not SC
so called lumbee has made it a lifestyle about lying that they R & even make up lies that lumbee has a N.A. reservation. U ppl are shameless liars.

Beautiful people inside and out!

@@stormy-le6pb Yes and my mom is a lumbee and her dna is something 70% percent European 12% percent African and 5 percent Native American and so i guess maybe there is some have native dna but most dont i guess i dont know i just want too learn my heritage but truth and facts and im kinda happy i have some indian and african in me.
@Music Lover Forever If you research more about them, someone said that at one time back in the late 1800's, a crooked politician told them they looked like N.A.'s & being greedy, he told them to tell the N.Carolina that they were Indians & they could get money, so they have been lying ever since, but the tribes around them knew the town they lived in used to be called Negro Town & since DNA, the truth is now known that they are not Natives just as the tribes there knew they weren't all along. Even Natives from the western states go there thinking they are Indians & always come back, telling us those people are blacks not Natives.
@@southernindigo1973 You don't like me for telling the truth & I don't like what you liars are doing, lying that you people are Indians, when DNA prove that none of you have any Native DNA. What your DNA shows is that every one of you are African & European. You lie you're Indians because some crooked politician told your ancestors to lie that they were indians so they could get money from the state, & now they passed on their lying down to you, & you, their off spring still lie that you'r Indians, but God knows your lying hearts & He said Liars have their Place in the Lake of Fire.
A lot of my family maternal and paternal are from North Carolina. The families moved to Georgia in the early 1800s. Paternal side of family was Tuscarora, Cherokee; maternal side Cherokee. Love the video!
Wonderful! Thank you!
Yeop!!! I'm Registered as a Lummi Indian From WA State just outside of Bellingham WA, 70 miles north of Seattle = 30 miles south of Canada, The Lummi Indians are Fishermen of the North! :)

Asking because my grandmother is from Quinqapin... How do I find out whether or not my family is part of the Indigenous Community? The “features” are there, but how do I research whether or not we’re actually part of the Culture?
Is that a collard sandwich??? I need that NOWWWWWW!!!
YES!!!!! And it was soooooooooo delicious!!!!!
😊😊😊
Omg Giiirl yes it is lol good ain’t they
With hotsauce!!
@@donovanhardin5359 yes!!!!
I found myself here somehow after reading about Letecia Hardin (Stauch, Hunt, Locklear) the woman charged with the murder of her 11 year old stepson, Gannon Stauch. She was allegedly from this tribe in Pembroke.
Thanks for finding our videos!
Leticia is half Lumbee.
Her features are there as well.
Elise Graziano I hate that she shares my last name
Fayetteville NC thankful to know my roots
My cousins are Lumbee and grew up going to the Indian Center in Baltimore. We went every year to the Pow Wows at the Inner Harbor. It is just beautiful!!
Yes, so beautiful! Thanks for finding our video!
Thanks for sharing this!! It is amazing to keep the history and culture and beauty alive.
My grandparents on my dads side are al black native Americans related to the lumbee tribe 💕
Note to self.. ALL NATIVES WERE BLACK, ORIGINALLY!!😂😂DUH!!
@@sonjastorm5414 no we weren’t! Hell no! We are brown!! We aren’t black! Our physical features are much different than Africans!
Very well done! I helped a professor from UNCW work on teaching video editing with Lumbee youth's. We traveled from Wilmington and were invited into a family's home. They allowed myself and the professor to teach video editing skills. The youth's were able to make videos about why they are proud of their heritage! I was extremely moved and honored to have the opportunity to inspire and educate Lumbee youth's. I used to hang out with a local band from Pembroke called Dark Water Rising. I enjoyed my experience with the band members and will always cherish them! Glad Charly is doing well and staying true to the cause. Heritage is important and we are seeing a lot of chaos in America right now. Never forget the past and always learn from it. We are all Americans and it's the multicultural backgrounds of all American's that makes our country so unique. We have to preserve all people's heritage and pass tradition to future generations. Thank you for this great video Bare Foot Traveler!
Thank you so much for sharing and for your work as well!!
@@Travelbarefeet1 Thank you as well!
Are the Lumbee a mixed tribe?
They are white and black, but claim to be native.
The dna says, european, african AND native. I would be interested to see if the dna links them to the lost colony of roanoke.
@@RichardWolfe79 Thank you!!! At least somebody gets it!!!
The Lumbee are tri-racial. Some people have some kind of issue with that - I just ignore them
@@vada7259 you have an average only 1-2% Native American genetics! That’s within the margin of error! Therefore, you aren’t real native Americans! Trust me, you don’t even look like Indians to me! I am 78% Native American genetically proven! Stop claiming to be Native American when you can’t even prove it with a genetics test,
You don’t have ir ever had your own language ir dialect!! You’re frauds!!
Lumbee Indians are very beautiful people
Agreed!
It's funny that Miss Lumbee is named Locklear. I heard years ago that actress Heather Locklear was a Lumbee although she doesn't look like it.
Yes, Heather Locklear is a proud Lumbee :-)
The dna says mixed race European, native American and African. I think Heather looks Lumbee but she just has lighter hair and eyes.

This is SO necessary!
No offense but y’all know you aren’t Native American… not federally recognized. If I mention trail of tears then you should already know. You guys are cool and all, but why claim something your not?
No offense taken your opinion means nothing to us. We are federally recognized. Not that that means anything really except a check. We don't need the government to tell us who we are.

Thank you for the correction, Melanie!
It really is tho

I thought it was Sampson county?

Thank you for tuning in, Danny!
Always lum-ed out!!!
Very interesting.
Family ❤❤❤ Yesss! #KeeKee!
I live in NC and have no idea anything about anyone further than my grandparents (who are all dead), i only ever even met two of my grandparents and only saw them a few times. My connection to any "culture" or history is nonexistent. Its just me and my parents and brothers. I only say this to say that i can imagine what it is like to have no idea where you come from or anything about what your ancestors thought or believed. But in a way it leaves you free to make your own way without the weight and burden of history on your shoulders.
GOD bless the native peoples!
Yes God bless the Native people. Sorry for the so-called lumbee though, they aren't Indian at all, not when not one American DNA marker show up N their DNA test results. God bless the so-called-lumbee that they stop being deceitful ppl & stop lying that they are indians.
I am married to the grandson of George Locklear and Helen Bell Locklear and it is so important that our son to know his people and his culture. Thank you so much for sheading light on this culture and these beautiful people, the Lumbee people, that I am honored to call family.🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️‼️

@@lewisc9959 you know nothing about me or my culture. This comment shows that. Fuck off will ya
I love going to the Indian powwows in nc
Miss Lumbee is absolutely beautiful 👀
Beautiful!! I have always had a love for Native American Indian heritage. Unknown to me, I found that I have Lumbee Indian in my blood line. Thank you for this video!
So called Lumbee R descendants of just Free black men & white women who settled away from prying eyes of White ppl & later became known as the only ppl that became a Indian tribe by politics & not by blood like the real Original Indian tribes of American are. So called lumbee R a fraudulent tribe & absolutely no lumbee N.A. blood even exists. What does exist is the African & European DNA so-called lumbee have.
The lumbees are just European and African mixed. They aren’t even real Indians. Lol. You are just white. And maybe a small percentage black. 👍
So Lumbees are black and white?
Yep and nothing else!
Yes, we are… we are a mix of native and run away slaves & we are a proud people
@@LadyvisionaryYou should search for your own people before you look into mine. We know who we are and are well aware we are an amalgamation of many tribes. Algonquin, Iroquain, Cheraw, Siouan Croatan. Black and white. We are INDIAN!
that's at the festival ..right
Cool

Thanks!

alot of natives look white ? I don't get why people troll people who are just saying the truth
because their own dna project shows that not one of them haas any native american dna. do your research and find out how they are the only people who became indian by politics and not by blood. they are frauds.

I guarantee you she is mostly European with minor African ancestry and possibly 0% Amerindian ancestry
Mari E Exactly. Lumbee have little to no Indian ancestry at all.
@@MariE-bz2eq Yep
@Peter Connell highly doubt that. I saw the results of a few lumbee and all three were over 60% European. One was 75% European, 23% African and 2% Native American. He got the native from his dad who is 96% European and 4% native american. Lumbee mom is 51% European and 49% African.
I was told I am lumbee it’s nice to see and learn what I never knew.
Amazing! And I'm glad you found our videos - thanks for watching!
Gotta rep the tribe! Lumbee!!!
One of my favorite shows and now about my tribe🤗
That s because for thousands of years the Indigenous America(s) were and still are Melinated People {i.e. the Washington Redskins original Indian logo, the color crayon Indian Red was banned and changed by caucasions in U.S., Websters Dictionary 1828 "American"} tells you the difference between the Originals and the $5 dollar Indians that you see now in Americas! Blessings!!! I worked for years with the late Charles Oxendine who first told me he was "Indian" Lumberton, North Carolina. I have picture of him.
This is in Pembroke not lumberton
