PEMBROKE, N.C. (WMBF) - The head of the Lumbee Tribe says that the tribe will continue to fight for official recognition from the federal government.
Tribal Chairman Harvey Godwin, Jr. released a statement Wednesday, days after Indian tribal recognition was not included in an Omnibus Appropriations bill passed last weekend.
âOnce again, the patience and persistence of the Lumbee people have been tested,â he said. âWe had great hopes for our recognition bill this Congress. And we were blessed with strong support - from both Republicans and Democrats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.â
