A. DAVID LESTER,
BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
VISITS THE AREA
PEMBROKE-A. David Lester, Com
missioner of Native American Programs,
in the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, did visit the Pembroke
area, contrary to those who smirked that
he probably would not come.
Lester was invited to the area by
defeated Republican House candidate Ed
Johnson and the CareMua Indian Voice.
The highlight of Lester's visit to the
area was a talk, followed by a question
and answer session, in PSU's Moore Hall
last Thursday night.
Lester talked of the "new directions"
of the ANA grants making process, with
greater emphasis on results, and renew
ed old friendships with the Indian com
munity.
After the mooting Lester [second from
the loft] la ahown with E.S. Jacobs,
Board member, Waccsunaw-Skman De
velop asset Assoc.; A. Braes Jones,
Director of the N.C. Coaamlmlea of
Affaire; and Kan Mayor, Execu
tive Director of I ember Bsgisnal De
velopment tassiNlf [LKDA].
Lester spoke highly of LRDA's track
record saying, "(LRDA) has a very
favorable track record" in receiving
grants and delivering services to the
Indian community.
Lester also denied that ANA grants,
and Reagan's Indian policy, was being
slanted toward federally recognized
Indian tribes, noting that Don-federally
recognized tribes like the Lumbee
received more than 50% of the 150 ANA
grants issued yearly, out of a budget of
$28 million.
Lester said that ANA was committed
toward grants that work toward "break
ing the cycle of dependency" on the
federal bureaucracy. He also affirmed
that Reagan was "pro Indian."
Lester also talked of the spurt of Indian
growth, noting that die 1970 Census
counted 800,000 Indians while the 1980
Census was up to 1.4 million.
And, finally, he paid particular
attention to LRDA, and the Lumbee
Community. Lester said, "You don't
know how lucky you are to be able to
avoid the history of federal depen
dency," citing economy recovery as the
hope of the future as ANA continues to
work with both non-fede rally and fed
erally recognized tribes. Lester also
lauded the Lumbee recognition effort, a
part of this year's ANA grant.

A CORRECTING STATEMENT
In last week's issue of the Carolina
Indian Voice we carried the wedding of
Dr. and Mrs. Ben Hardin. Mrs. Hardin is
the daughter of Mrs. Virginia W. Greene
of Chadbourn, NC and Billy L. Greene of
Lumberton. The groom is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Bazie Hardin of Pembroke.
We typographically garbled a passage
of copy that should have read, "The
bridegroom's mother baked the bride
groom'^ cake."
We apologize to the couple and wish
them wedded bliss.

COUNTY HOUSING HEAD

Monday night and dealt with the Glenn
Maynor matter, deciding to accept the
