He doesn’t look Native American to me????.
The mostly Cherokee in North Carolina have distinctive features....
...I suppose he could be mixed African American/Native American
Just sayin
40% of Robeson county identify as Lumbee Indian. Lumbee is an NC state recognized tribe, not federal.

Ask Giovanni da Verrazzano what he saw in 1524 what is now known as North Carolina
I think some research is in order from people on this page before making assumptions about who was here before who in this country.
