They plan to add permanent buildings, such as a cookhouse and sweat lodge, and would also like to build houses on the land.

An, of course, the ancient casino buildings...

Ping.

This town is about 8-10 miles from my office.
I have mixed feelings on this, as my grandfather Baker is descended from some of the Tuscarora who remained here in eastern NC rather than going to NY state.

Does this mean I can open a casino one day? (smile)

History says the Tuscarora found the neighborhood too tough so they traded all of their land and rights to Daniel Boone and Company, and relocated to Iriquois Confederation lands organized by the Onandaga and Oneida. They became the 6th nation.

Not sure if the neighborhood has improved all that much to be moving back. These guys would be better off getting together with that bunch of Mohawks in Canada who want to remove the "blood quantum" for a one-time-only thing, then reorganize with the oldest customs.

This would include eliminating some of the laws established by Deganawidah and his disciple Hiawatha and allow for the return of that all important ceremonial cannibalism.

A note from Tennessee about the Lumbee Tribe.....

This week an ethnic group known as the Mullengeons are gathering here to discuss their heritage. There is a lot written about them in recent times, including the fact that they fled literally to the Tennessee hills and mountains to escape persecution in North Carolina.

Their precise origin is a mystery, but many have AmerIndian blood and some of it is thought to be Lumbee blood. there is some thought that the Mullengeons are remnents of very early European visitors, including Portugeese and English survivors of failed colonies...... including the "Lost Colony"

If the foundation of a nation is successful in Wilson County and a casino is opened...... expect homecoming migrants from East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.

[THE MODERATE]

This is all we need. I remember Timothy Jacobs and his little stunt. Back then he was a dedicated Lumbee. I have family in Roboson County they are probably glad he is gone.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

What about the Tusacdero tribe?

[wardaddy]

Most of the Lumbees I've known were mulatto, is this common there?

Isn't Lumbee sort of a generic name?

Anyhow, guess eastern NC needs some casinos...long way to Atlantic City.

Tuscarora Indians are to america what palestinians are to Israel.

Mexicans are to America what palestinians are to Israel.
