The largest tribe east of the Mississippi. We reside in Rob. Co. "Robeson County" and surrounding areas. I'm just trying to see if we're known across our great country.

Yes, I am familiar with them. I also live in NC, Durham County.
Not originally from here though.

As an amateur genealogist, I have learned of the existence of many Native American tribes I had never heard of in history classes. My mother's ancestors came to Mississippi from Alabama from South Carolina, from North Carolina, from Virginia, from Maryland. I have one ancestor whom I cannot find anything about, and I am beginning to believe she was Native American, and she could have been a Lumbee. On my father's side, I have 2 Shawnee, and a Cherokee. On my husband's side, at least 1 Mikmaq (Nova Scotia). We are all truly Americans!

Yes, I heard a news report on them not long ago, and their struggle to get the US govt to recognize their existence.
Why on earth does the govt think it has a right to tell people what their ethnic group is or is not???
