The laneuaee of the Tusca-
rora belongs to the northern
Iroquoian group and has
greatest resemblance to Mo
hawks and Oneida. It also has
many terms common to all
northern Iroquoian croups.

Among the hidians of Rob
eson County there are three
surnames that have been
traced to the Tuscaroras.
These surnames are Lowry,
Locklear and Gumbo (the
Cumbo name having been
married out). Locklear also
attributes to a majority of the
Indians in this county. Most
bidian families in Robeson'
and adjoining counties can
trace one of these surnames
and maybe all in the family
tree.
The Tuscaroras have a rich
and beautiful history and
culture. Most of it has been
kept from them, through
prejudice and persecution.
Much of the plans of the
Tuscarora Tribe of North
Carolina is to see that the eyes
of the people will be opened to
the truth of who they are and
where they came from by
learning their history, culture
and traditions.

the Division of Indian
Education for the N.C. De
partment of Public Instruction
noted that North Carolina has
66,000 Indians, the largest
body of Indians east of the
Mississippi River. She
explained Ihe vast work of her
division which consists of only
herself and a part time
secretary. “'Ihis division was
created in December 1977
with a $4,000 budget. Now we
have a total budget of
$7,000 with which to
operate," she said.
Helen Scheirbeck of Fairfax
Va., director of the Native
American Program for the
Save the Children Foundation
reviewed the education histo
ry of the N.C. hidians and
urged that in the future "we
need a higher level Indian
office in the state educational
system. We should be looWng
at the state’s apnual plan as it
is being put together.”
Mrs. Scheirbeck wanted to
know: “Why don’t we have a
tuition bill for Indian students
who are undergraduates?”
9ie suggested that this sym
posium come up with a
committee to implement that
framework.
"Then we will have a plan
by which to hold the state
accountable,” Mrs. Scheir
beck asserted.
John Wahnee of the Chero
kee Agency in western North
Carolina of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs concluded the
morning session by telling
the audience: "Let us
represent Alli Indian people
in North Carolina. You can be
the power. Let us be able to
draft a document with which
you can go to your stat€
legislator and get appropriate
action.”
^ Wahnee praised the basic
education plan proposed for
this state "as a great plan,
it one that can be improved
by giving Indians considera-
>n.” He asked, "What is the
policy of the ftosident of the
U.S. on education? Make
sure you demand high stan
dards and hold the federal
tyernment and state
resf^nsible for the education
-f Indian chUdren.”
