This time- Let’s PRAY for
our PRESIDENTI I believe it’s
too big a job for one more
human being to accomplish
without constant divine gui
dance.
My mother was 80 years old
on January 23rd! When I
called her that night, she said
she had had a lovely day! My
cousin Betty had invited Mo
ther and Daddy across the
road to her trailer- for a very
nice birthday party. Daddy's
79th birthday was four days
earlier. I sent him a regular
birthday card. But the only
special-enough card I could
find for Mother was a big pink
valentine. On the back 1 wrote:
“It’s been nice knowing you
for the last 50 of your 80
years.’’ (Of course, 1 was
rushing things a little. I’m still
only 49.
On Tuesday night 1 enjoyed
fellowshipping with a group of
Baptist Christians meeting at
First Baptist Church. Since
I’m originally from Montana,
Rev. Tony Brewington had
asked me to share some
experiences as part of a
program he was presenting on
the Northwest.
I enjoyed the chance to talk
about my native area- so mncb
so that 1 rambled on and on
about my growing up days and
never got to my experiences on
the Blackfeet Reservation.
Many times in the past I’ve
had an opportunity to speak
about the Blackfeet, their
problems, and their needs.
But in my 25 years in the
Southeast, I have never before
been invited before a group to
describe the NorOiwest and
life there. Perhaps, if this
happens again in the next 25
years, I'll manage to get my
thoughts together well enough
to present a more complete
picture of life there as 1
remember it- in one Indian
community and several com
munities throughout Montana.
1 also enjoyed attending the
February meeting of United
Methodist Women at First
Methodist Church. We made
our pledges to missions after
Mrs. Molly Brillye explained
the many needs.
I was especiaUy grateful for
canned food for the church and
community center. There were
also some cash donations for
Emergency Aid. We at the
center are grateful for the
response we are receiving in
the way of canned food and
cash for emergency needs. •

A Poem
Questions
What do 1 write
When I’ve written it all
What do I say
When it's ail been said
How can 1 love
When my love has wasted
away
How can I cry
When all of my tears have
been shed
Where can I find hope
When all hope is lost
Where can 1 find light
When darkness surrounds me
Why do 1 go on
When .so much is against me
Why do I dream
When my dreams are of
impossible things

THAT INTERESTING INDIAN
SURNAME BRAVEBOY
There can be no doubt at
all that the family name
BRABOY, which appears in
the colonial records of North
Carolina as BRAVE BOY is of
Anglo-Indian origin. McMillan
Weeks and Olds, earliest
historians to investigate Lum-
bee Indian history, agree that
it was given to a Lumbee for
some brave deed during the
Tuscarora War (1711-13). The
English with their customary
habit of abreviating long,
cumbersome Indian names,
shortened it in time to Bra’
boy. Today we spell it braboy
and pronounce it Brayboy.
Locklear is also an Indian
name and outnumbers all
other surnames among Robe
son Indians. According to Dr.
Douglas L. Rights, author of
Hie American Indian in Nwth
Candlna, it means “hold
fast.” In the first U. S. Census
ever taken in this country, in
1790, seven heads of families
are listed as “Lockolear,”
"Lockileer,” or “Lockitier.”
The name also appears in the
Colonial Records of North
Carolina. Someone once said
of this grand old name that
should someone in any public
meeting of Robeson Indians
would call out, “Will Mr.
Locklear please step forward?’
that half of the congregation
would stand to its feet. The
Locklears have a reputation-
justified or unjustified • for
being prolific and loving cof
fee. The Locklear families
enumerated in 1790 had large
families, and some of them
owned Black slaves. The most
popular first name among
Robeson Indians seems to be
John, a name acquired ftY>m
the English. Almost anyone
who attempts to reach a John
Locklear with no identification
other than the name, almost
invariable runs into confusion
and difficulties.
Yet in all my years of
research, I have never en-
countered a Locklear family
that wasn't Indian in origin.
There can be no doubt at all
that the name is Indian,
whether it is pronounced with
three syllables, as the older
Indians invariably pronounced
it. (Lock-uh-lear) or with two
syllables as those who like to
abbreviate pronounce it (Lock-
li).
Most of the one hundred or
less surnames among Robeson
however, are of English origin.
More than half of these
surnames are identical with
the surnames borne by the
English Colonists of 1584,
1585 and 1587.
Some of these earliest colo
nial families have been ab
sorbed by the main population
but more than 50 percent are
still retained among the Indi-
Because of this, much pre
judice has attached itself to the
thesis of the Lost Colony
descent of the Lumbee Indi
ans. This prejudice is so strong
that Prof. Johnson of the
University of North Carolina
refused to publish a special
study of his done in England to
ascertain the surnames of All
the English colonists of the
1580s. According to Edith
Shepard, who wrote a thesis
on the subject. Prof. Johnson
said he was afraid of embar
rassing many of his friends if
he published his long list of
surnames.
