NC has 3 of the poorest cities in 'merica

We are recognized Federally, dumb ass. We just receive no government assistance whatsoever. Originally US treaties were given to tribes that gave financial assistance in exchange for peace and/or valuable resources. Since Lumbees were nonviolent and possessed no resources the government had no reason to make a treaty with them. In 1956 the Federal government finally recognized Lumbees, but still withhold all financial benefits...

Because rich Cherokees own the casinos and financially support/fund politicians, who in return block Lumbees from getting Federal assistance, which would drastically reduce the amount Cherokees get.

Any other stupid, shortsighted questions full of inaccuracies?

I was asking a question because of this... and my co-worker who is Lumbee want around to ask

The Lumbee Tribe is the largest tribe in North Carolina, the largest tribe east of the Mississippi River and the ninth largest non-federally recognized group in the nation.

and my co-worker who is Lumbee wasn't around to ask.

Sorry you feel the need to be overly defensive. In case you are wondering you are federally recognized as an idiot.

No, I'm on the mobile app & thought that quote was MrTD, or Dorn, or whatever that Walmart Tar Heel fan calls himself now.

Apologies. Please don't burn my home & rape my women.

I'm pretty lazy and that sounds like a lot of work

Lumberton is a dump.

As a Lumbee, I will say your friend doesn't know what he's talking about. There aren't many Lumbees in that area anyway.

PS...

"Lumbee" Indians are the largest tribe east of the Mississippi.

 

i thought Catawba's were? or they just have the largest reservation east of the Miss?

I thought the whole federal recognition thing was because Lumbees quickly adopted English and the feds required tribes to have their own language

Two guys I lived with at ECU were from Lumberton. I still talk to them and one of them usually comes up to visit 1-2 a year. They both described Lumberton to me as a prison race war. It's a poor city and a lot of people don't have much. It's blacks/hispanics/whites/indians that don't get along with each other.  The "Lumbee" Indians absolutely hate blacks there, which is shocking because a lot of them are mixed with african americans. This is what my friend told me. 

 

 

I think Lumberton is where Jordan's dad was murdered. 

 

Gotta watch out for those ECU cats they are pretty shitty:

  The tragic part is that he did not care enough to be with his son on his deathbed

What kind of little disease ridden poo would say that after the news of AP's son? Only an ECU student.
