ANALYSIS OF LUMBEE *
INDIANS PUBUSHD)
In the summer issue of
"American Speech," ? quart
erly of English usage, a
special article appears jointly
written by Dr. Rabert Refefag.
Pembroke State University
professor of "Communicative
Arts and American Indian
Studies, and JnlMae Brewer
assistant dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences and
associate professor of English
at UNC-Greensboro. -
It is the first linguistic
analysis of the language of the
Lumbee Indians, says Dr.
Reising, who adds: "It is only
?t, * first step but certainly a
'necessary one. I only t|ope
that many future studies of
this language will follow.*
The article is entitled: "To
kens in the Pocosin." The
authors' research was sup
ported by Research Council
grants awarded by Pembroke
State University and UNC
Greensboro.
Dr. Reising expressed great
appreciation to the Lumbee
Regional Development Asso
ciation for its help in the
research. "Without LRDA's
aid-and PSU's?we never
would have been able to
complete and refine our
study," said Dr Reising.
"Many folks at LRDA were
helpful, but no more than Ben
Jacobs and Jaaie Maynor
LocUeas."
In thier article, Reising and
Brewer quote from Hamltou
McMillan's publication in
1888, entitled: "Sb Walter
RaMgh'e Lost Colony," by
Advance Press. They noted
that when the first white
settlers came to southeastern
North Carolina in the 18th
century, they "found located
on the waters of the Lumber
'River a large tribe of Indians,
speaking English, tilling the
soil, owning slaves, and prac
tising many of the arts of
rivilized life...They held their
lands in common, and land
titles only became known on
the approach of white men."
The article states: "Like
other cohesive communities,
the Lumbees use language as
a significant linguistic and
culturay^^^|nai^
words, certain meaning of
words, and certain pronuncia
tion signal their ethnic iden
tity.and intensify outsiders."
The article goes into the
Lumbees' use of die central
ized diphthong "more than
half the time." plus other
linguistic notations.
In conclusion Reising and
Brewer state: "Our findings
in this preliminary study
demonstrate the need to
analyze the Lumbee variety of
English in relation to region,
community or subregion, and
social variables such as sex
differences. This study is but
the first step in the too-long
delayed process of examining
Lumbee English."

RESULTS OF
BUDGET QUIZ
Here are the answers tor
the County Budget Quiz that
was printed in last week's
newspaper. Ironically, not a
single person turned in their
completed quiz to the Caro
lina Indian Voice by Tuesday
evening. Verbal inquiries
were made to the Indian Voice
and to County Commission
ers. So, no one wins a free
subscription! All it would
have taken to win was for one
citizen to turn in their quiz
with only one correct answer!
An assumption that can be
drawn is that our readers feel
totally lost in our county's
budget and no one wanted to
be quizzed on it. This is a sad
statement on citizen invotv
ment in our county. Better
luck next year!
I lie answers to the County
Bin'get Quiz are as follows:
I.- ?: 2.-B: 3.-C: 4. D: 5.-C;6.
D; D; 8.-True; 9.- C; and

#6 s "None of the Above."
