My Maternal Great Grandmother was born and raised in Robeson, NC in the early 1900’s. She was the first person to tell me as a child that we were Indigenous. But she never went in depth about which tribe we were from. My Great Grandfather (her husband) would go to his tribal meetings every week when I would visit them for the summer. I wish I would’ve inquired more about it while they were alive. 😔 I have so many questions now about our true lineage and heritage.

The Lumbee Indians were federal recognized by the federal government in the 1950s; however, without federal benefits because there isn’t a treaty/contract between Lumbees and federal government. Federal government benefits to Lumbee’s has nothing to language. The Lumbee English is very similar to Scottish dialect.

@@benchavis1624 First time I've ever heard that. It was always my understanding that the state recognized them as a tribe, but that the federal government won't recognize them because a tribe has to have a documented 200 year history prior to the time they request it. They will recognize the individual as an authentic Indian and give them the individual rights that come with it, i.e. such as come with affirmative action programs, etc. I was of the idea that the state of NC recognizes them as a tribe and grants any considerations that come with that. I have also understood that other long recognized tribes such as the Cherokee here in the NC have long opposed the federal recognition because they perhaps think such a thing might would diminish their federal grants and other such considerations that come with the recognition. And you have to know that many Indians have both white and black genes because of the intermingling the Lumbees have long engaged in. My sister-in-law god rest her soul was a Lumbee from Laurinburg and despite most of her family looked even whiter than me with very blonde hair and blue eyes. Some Indians looked almost black because of the black genes in their DNA. I'm not saying you are incorrect about federal recognition. It may have changed from what I understood and I never came across that information. I'm not suggesting the Lumbees aren't genuine Indians but have long believed that many of them are an admixture of many races such as my deceased sister-in-law's family though. Some appear almost totally Indian, some almost totally black, and many, very many you'd think were white unless you inquire and discover they are Indians. Heather Locklear for instance is half Lumbee Indian but looks almost totally white, but I know her father was an academic who if memory serves me hailed from Pembroke, NC which was very near where I grew up and who married a white woman after he went to work in California as an academic. I grew up around many Lumbee's in my youth on a farm. They were mostly nice hardworking people who would brook no insult from anyone and I must say produced very attractive females as was my sister-in-law.

A fact! Heather Locklear’s father worked at UCLA as a school administrator. He isn’t from Pembroke. I met the family members when I worked at the University of California Berkeley in 1990.

@@benchavis1624 I detect a note of hostility in your responses. Are you suggesting I'm intentionally lying about what I understood? Are you implying I somehow have animus toward Lumbee Indians because if you do you are inaccurate considering I had many friends among Lumbee Indians while growing up and worked in the fields beside them. I may be wrong about Heather Locklear's father being from Pembroke, and as I noted that he was if memory serves me, which might have failed since I'm in my seventh decade of life. And I never asserted my thoughts surrounding federal recognition are definitely factual. That was simply something over the years I came to think was accurate. But of course you don't provide any factual information or evidence that would convince me that what you are asserting yourself is totally accurate either. You are a native Indian and may be correct, but being someone who requires definitive evidence I remain cynical of your claim and especially because of what I define has a hostile tone. A person can make any claim they want but without providing verifiable evidence from a reliable source that I can research and may convince me otherwise I will remain cynical. You know I used to live in Wilmington where there is a major movie studio and the place where many movies are made. You know who I met since they made many movies downtown where I worked at the main post office well non other than Vanessa Redgrave, Danny Aiello, Bill Nunn, Issac Hayes, Bernie Casey, etc. So therefore I'm not the least impressed that you may know the Locklear's.

I'm a Lumbee but never lived in Robeson. But my family from their speak like this. It always makes me feel loved and welcomed. My grandmother was the most loving, Christian person I ever known. She talked like this. So did my papa, and daddy.

On the first day of kindergarten we were separated.. lumbee on one side and yt on the other side of the room. This is such a horrible mess that those “others” have created. Fighting for identity.. nobody should have to do that. I’m not from pembroke but I’m from lumberton so I was never in the heart of it but I feel like all of my friends growing up made a huge impact in my life. It showed me the right and wrongs of everything. How to be a good person. And to support everyone and love everyone no matter what. I will celebrate the day that the lumbee tribe becomes federally recognized because I believe in my heart that it’ll happen. It won’t undo the years of abuse and trauma you and others have endured but hopefully it will close that chapter and show others the power of fighting for yourself and your family, and your identity as a whole. Sorry I went off on a whole rant there. I’m 32 now with children who have never lived in NC since we have moved but they know exactly who the Lumbee people are and will never show prejudice against another person for how they talk or how they look. I’m very sorry that happened to you. I hope for the sake of us all that people can learn kindness and be more open to things that are different from what they know.

Being born and raised in Robeson county, I always assumed that the dialect was Robeson county specific because my grandparents, parents, siblings and most everyone I knew, spoke this way. Never attributed it to a specific race, just a regional dialect.

my favorite neighbor was Mary Katherine Hunt she helped raise my kids and I loved her so much. my kids called her mama Hunt we lived in the Chapel Hill apartments in Baltimore . I took her to the Indian center on Broadway and she went to the East baltimore church I took her to North Carolina many times to visit. In my neighborhood there were Hunts, Locklears and Oxendines and Chavis

I'm a somewhat light complexion Lumbee. In the mid 70's I could not get a job at any of the factories in lumberton. So I went back to a factory that was hiring and used my mother's last name (she had married a white man) and it got me past the office door and into the personnel office. But when the personnel manager took a good look at me he stood up and said that they had no openings. Farm work was about all that I could find.

Huge mistake. Lumbee are not indigenous at all, that’s why all the other tribes came out against it. They didn’t have to have any studies done tracing their ancestry like the other actual tribes.

The girl's story @10:55 doesn't surprise me at all. I grew up next door in Scotland County. I relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada. I was at work and one day a new employee started work. As soon as he finished talking for the first time I said, "Are you from Robeson County?" For a moment he looked at me with a puzzled look. Then he said he was and it must I could tell from his accent.

love my home.

I'm from Robeson County born an raised.

I was shocked when I heard the term "mommuck". I don't know how it got there but it was a term used by my mom in Maryland and understood by the family tot mean to mess something up. For instance - "quit mommucking your food" or "he/she mommucked that up". Also, a token was an omen. I just thought it was country talk, but I love it. Did Lumbees ever live in Maryland?

This is so interesting, proving that the US has many pockets of different cultures, accents and traditions sewn into our fabric. I also was watching something about Mulungeons, which are also the same tri-racial mix that were predominately in the Appalachians. They were doing some sort of DNA testing project and they essentially have the same mix of mediterranian european, middle east, African and Indigenous. My husband is from Mexico and has all of that mix too! Who knew he had a common "brotherhood" from the Appalachians.
