THE CAROLINA INDIAN VOICE AND
SUPERIOR OFFICE SUPPLY
MOVES TO NEW QUARTERS
We're Now Located at The Revels Motel Complex
The atwve pfctarc la where the
Carolina Indian Voice has been

us by Tara Lowry.

Pembroke?Our official title is
the Lumbee Publishing Co.,
Inc. That is the name of our
corporation.
We are best known as The
Carolina Indian Voice. That is
the name of our weekly
newspaper. We are the largest
weekly (in terms of subscri
bers and circulation) in Robe
son County. We believe we are
an exciting newspaper too.
Even those who do not agree
with us like to read The
Carolina Indian Voice to find
out "What the Indians are up
to."
Another thing we do is
provide an office supply and
office furniture outlet at rea
sonable prices. The name of
this facet of our business
? operation is Superior Office
Supply.
We did have a printing
operation but we are in the
process of phasing it out. It
takes too many man hours to
make a dollar and it interferes
with the production of The
Carolina Indian Veldt.
Our brother. Garry, is plan
ning to retain the press and
accessories and continue to
provide quality printing at
reasonable prices after hours
and on Saturday. He can be
contacted, until other arrange
ments are made, at our offices
here on Highway 711.
Our operation is quartered
in what waa "The Incredible
You Disco." The building is
known AS Rfvfts' hloici And
RrtiiurAfit Building Although
(the section of the teHdtog^ue
_ are la) have long been cleeed
down by Juddle Resets. Jr..
the ewner af the property;
A convenience store. A
number of other businesses
and a spate of LRDA offices
use the office space now.
It's a good location and we
believe it will afford us an
opportunity to offer better
service to our customers.
Come and see us. We are still
the same folks who were in the
old Levi Hunt Hatchery Buil
ding. And we're still on
Highway 711. We think maybe
we might be a little closer to
the action. 1 hope so.
Come and see us. Our
business address (P.O. Box
1075) and our telephone num
ber (521-2826) will remain the
same.
Indians on war Path For
Continued IEA Rights
by Lew Btrtoa
Special Correspondent
Raleigh, NC-Jan. 4--Some 36
North Carolina Indians went
on the verbal warpath here
today, to continue their rights
to 1EA benefits as under the
original IEA definition of an
Indian, led by such seasoned
warriors as Kenneth Ray May
nor. Janie Maynor Lock lea r
and Carnell Locklear. they all
presented testimony to show
that the present board defini
tion should not be narrowed.
Such pow-wows across the
nation are mandatory, being
written into the Indian Educa
tion Act itself. But certain
Cherokees and a few others in
Federal Government cirri les
have seized the provision to
exclude the Lumbee. if possi
ble. "We need to extend the
definition." declares Kenneth
Ray Maynor. Executive Direc
tor of the Lumbee Regional
Development Association. Inc.
"not narrow it down."
Says Ms. Betty Oxendine
Mangum: "The Indian Educa
tion Act allows any Indian
child who meets the following
definition to be served: 'Indi

of the Interior to be an Indian

who is Director of the Division
of Indian Education, says the
purpose of the Indian hearing
is "to provide Indian tribes,
bands, organizations, groups
and individuals an opportunity
to offer input into the study."
Director Mangum asks:
"Do you like the current
definition? Or do you want it
changed? If so. how?" ? ?
Apparently, the Cherokee of

and certain BIA officials want
the definition narrowed while

..ABOUT THIS "RECENTLY ORGANIZED
COASTAL CAROLINAS SOCIETY OF
PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS"
BASED IN LUMBERTON
by Bruce Barton, Editor of
The Carolina Indian Voice Newspaper
i l continue to hear about
th s..."recently organized
:{<>jstal Carolinas Society of
'Professional Journalists, bas
hed in Lumberton..."
P
I am not a member of this
.purported organization which
^peaks so glibly of the First
^Amendment and. at the self
same time, fosters a "privi
<ed list" only. I have not
-Been invited to attend, nor
have I been involved in the
, development of this organi
sation. Mostly what I know
-about it is what I have read in
" the Robesoniaa newspaper.
' But the journalism workshop
' seems interesting. But it will
ihave little meaning without my
.participation. I AM THE
-FIRST AMENDMENT!
I
I he U.S.t Bill of Rights
: consists of 10 amendments.

the United States Constitution.
The First Amendment reads:
t "Congress shall make no law

Abridging the freedom of

right of the people peaceably

the government for a redress
of grievances."
I thank God He is not
exclusive like the "recently

seems to be. And the United
States Constitution is not
exclusive either. Where else
but America could an Indian
ex-convict and alcoholic and
general nial content like my
self recover and come home
and start up a newspaper from
scratch? Of course most of the
credit goes to my brothers and
sister who share and now own
this venture with me.
Let them (them being the
..."recently organized Coastal
Carolinas Society of Profes
sional Journalists, based in
Lumberton") put that in their
pipes and smoke it.
Anyway, here's a news re
lease about their shindig.
I cannot speak well of an
organization that attempts to
exclude me ...but this is
America and we operate by the
guts of the First Amendment
in these quarters. Go if you
want to.
