LUMBEE PROGRAM
FUNDED IN WASHINGTON
In a joint announcement, Roderick G.
Locklear, Chairman, Kenneth R. May
nor. Executive Director, Lumbee Re
gional Development Association and
William L. Bondurant, Executive Direc
tor of the Mary Reynolds Babcock
Foundation today announced the fund
ing of the Lumbee National Information
Program (LNIP), Project Information
and Dissemination (I.D.).
The Mary Reynolds Babcock Founda
tion made a grant in the amount of
$38,100.00 to the Lumbee Regional
Development Association to assist the
LRDA effort, on behalf of Eastern
American Indians not living on Federal
Reservations, to open an information,
monitoring and dissemination office in
Washington, D.C.
In making the grant, Bondurant said,
"This is an exciting undertaking, and
needless to say it is one which we hope
will succeed in nurturing cooperation
among Indian tribes as well as in
providing good information to Congress
and the American public."
Locklear and Maynor stated that "the
LNIP-Washington office would serve to,
1) Identify a network of concerned non
reservation Indians and sympathetic
informed non- Indian friends for
purposes of disseminating information
concerning the major developments
which appear critical to the hopes and
aspirations of Eastern Indian commun
ities, 2) Develop a historical and socio
economic profile on each of the existing
Indian communities, 3) identify key
federal decision- makers and arrange
for communication with these officials
regarding the existence and needs of
the eastern Indian communitites and
provide suggestions as to how these
needs might be met, 4) Report the
status of these communication efforts to
the tribes through LNIP- Project I.D.
newsletter to be disseminated bi-weekly
and, S) Monitor proposed administra
tive hearings and legislative hearings to
assure that eastern Indians are eligible
for programs services."
May nor said, "A project such as
LNIP is long overdue, it provides a
mechanism to build unity among Indian
tribes," and he further stated that the
Washington office should be operation
al July 1, 1980.
Dr. Helen M. Scheirbeck, Lumbee,
daughter of the late Judge Lacy Maynor
will coordinate the establishment of the
LNIP office. Locklear said, "Dr. Scheri
beck brings to this office a knowledge of
government, laws, regulations, pro
grams, and Indians, that few Indians in
this country possess.... We are delight
ed and fortunate that she has agreed to
assist in establishing this office... She
will serve us well." He further stated,
"The Lumbee National Information
Program has received the support of
and endorsement from several Indian
tribes and organizations."
