LUMBEE ENROLLMENT DIRECTOR STEAKS OUT Thfc week's put ee* umnist Is Ed Cfcavts, Director af LRDA's Lnasbee Enrol -- ? ?fLlnL 1 | .1,,, meni rTOjcti wnicD miinimi and updates a Lambee Tribal M. Mr. Chavis report*] "The Lumbee Enrollment Program, sponsored by Lum bee Regional Development Association, Inc., will fbtever hold a unique place in the history of the Lnmbee Indian people.i We have, for many years, seen able to recognize each other, either by physical characteristics or by last names. "In those days anyone could come to Pembroke and they could tell who was in town simply be seeing the cars. Everyone recognized each other's car. But that time has left us. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to determine who is a Lumbee Indian anymore. We still know that many people are Lumbee Indians by their surnames. However, there are many of our pepole we don't know either because they live in isolated area, or they left good ol' Robeson at a very young age. Perhaps they have married non-Lumbees, but they maintain constant contact with home so that their children know of their Indian blood. They are Lum bee Indians, too. "The Lumbee Tribal Roll wants to include everyone that is a Lumbee Indian. The Tribal roll will, in years to come, prove to be the most important historical document ever contrived by (or about) Lumbee Indians. This docu ment will show exactly who you are, and who we are. The Lumbee Tribal Roll will show ' * family trees that jo as far as' possible back into the past. As others have said, 'How do you ' know where you are going if you don't know where you have been?' "The Lumbee Tribal Roll also serves as a certifying agency for those people that need to prove to some agency that they are Indian. Under the Indian Education Fellow ship Program, we have certi fied five (S) students who receive money now. Under the Indian Health Services Scholarship there are thirty seven (37) students now re ceiving that scholarship who have been certified through the Lutribee Tribal Enrollment Program. "The state legislature last year passed - a law granting 100,000 for needy Indian students from this state to be distributed by the 16 uni versities in the Regional Uni- ? versity System. In the future they, too, will have to be certified by their tribe in order to receive these funds. This year 166 Lumbee Indians received a portion of that money from different uni versities all across the state. "The state of Michigan allows our students who live in Michigan to attend their state supported universities tuition-free. These students, too, are certified through the Lumbee Enrollment Program. "Many small businessmen have been able to get con tracts through minority busi nesses by being certified by the Tribal Enrollment Pro gram. ' "Have you done anything to preserve your family's history? Let us help you do that by enrolling your family ?s members of the Lumbee Tribe. "There are now 10,000 ?vj t official members of the Lam bee Tribe. This is s milestone in oar endeavor. It is ap proximately one-third of the people who daim to be Lam bee Indians. Give us a call at LRDA's Lumbee Enrollment Program (521-8602) and ask the staff to come oat to your home and enroll your whole family. Let us help you' preserve your family's history for you and posterity." EDUCATION IS THE KEY Education is the key to the survival of Indian people. With this premise in mind, LRDA established the Lum bee Indian Adult Education Project. Classes are offered, free of charge, to anyone 16 years or older who wishes to further his (or her) education. Curri culum consists of reading, writing and math. However, emphasis is placed upon the student eventually obtaining his (or her) General Equi valency Diploma (GED), the equivalent of a high school diploma. Since classes began (each Tuesday and Thursday even ing from 7-10 p.m.) in Sep tember, 1982, 14 students have successfully passed the GED test that ^-administered at Robeson Technical College. During the summer mon ths, the Education Support Specialists worked with sev eral students on an individual basis. One student, Angela Clark, passed the General Equivalency Diploma (GED) test in July 1?HM. Angela is from the Evans Center. The passing score for the GED is 225. In August, the test was given again and 4 students passed. They were: Carlene Locklear, and a student who wishes to remain anonymous, - both from the Evans Center; Roger Butler, and Win ford Bullard, from the Rex Rennert Center. The most recent graduates of the program were tested on November 22 and 23, 1962. There were approximately 29 students tested with 9 of these passing. From the Evans Center, those receiving their GED were: Betty Deese, Brenda Butler and Gloria Oxendine. From the Smyrna Center Lisa Hunt and Kath leen Hannah. From the Rex Rennert Center: Othella -Locklear, Patricia Blue. Kim Oldham and Gladys McNeill. Mrs. Gladys McNeill, 44, deserves special mention. She has attended the Rennert Center regularly since Sep tember, 1981. She was mar ried to the late Carl McNeill and is the mother of 4 boys who range in age from 14 to 24 years. Her two oldest sons completed high school and one has gone on to complete college. "Miss Gladys," as she is fondly known, dropped out of school in 1955 after completing the tenth grade. She planned to return to * ea school after her marriag^Ht for various reasons was TO ble to do so. After the d^ath of her husband, she decided to pursue her long time'ambition to obtain her GED. "Miss4 Gladys" says she would like to continue her education and enter Robeson Technical Col lege, possibly obtaining a major in nursing. Said a spokesman for the project: "We have had 14 graduates from the three, centers who have made great progress in a short period of time. The Adult Ed staff would like to congratulate them for their accomplish ments and thank them for their hard work and dedica tion." The GED test is tentatively scheduled again for February 21 in the day, and Feb. 23 and 24 at night. Anyone interested in attending night adult basic education classes, or studying for their GED, is encouraged to contact LRDA's Education Building at 521-9703. Remember: Education is the key to our survival as a people. (I would like to thank Patsy Low cry of the Adult Educa tion Project for her assistance in writing this article.)

"555BT" The Education Of A Chiropractor Dr. Roger It Roff Thomas Edison was a hood of his time when he said: "The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but wilt interest ? his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease." His description aptly describes Doctors of Chiropractic, mere commonly called Chiropractors. Today's Chiropractor is recognized by the United States government as a professional member of the healing arts. He is licensed by the state in which he practices. In addition to four years' study ot a Chiropractic ! college, most states require him to have two years of pre-professional training and he must pass the same Basic Science examina tion as other members of the healing arts. This examination cavers such subjects as anatomy, physioldgy, bacteriology, pathology and chemistry. Chiropractors arm concerned with the human frame because if it is out of align ment, it can seriously affect your health by creating nerve interference where the nerves emerge between the vetebrae of the spine. By correcting this misalignment, the * Chiropractor helps the bedy to heal itself. PUBLISHED IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC IN FORMATION BY DR. ROGER R. ROFF. Most all insurance programs accept Dr. Roffs claims including Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross-Blue Shield, workman's compen sation, personal injury protection (injuries stemming from car accidents).
