An open Letter to the Lumoee people rrom
Arlinda Locklear, Tribal Attorney
During recent weeks, much has
been written and said about the
Lumbee recognition bill, the Lumbee
Constitution Assembly, and the impact
of the woric on the proposed tribal
constitution on the recognition bill.
As the attorney who represents the
Lumbee Tribe before Congress on the
Lumbee recognition bill, I'd like to
express to you my view on these
First, there is some confusion about
who 1 represent on the Lumbee
recognition bill. My client on the
Lumbee recognition bill is and has
always been the Lumbee Tribe. Until
February 1994, the Lumbee Regional
Development Association paid for my
wot on the tribe's behalf on the
Lumbee bill, la February 1994, my
contract with L.R.D.A. expired
Because of difference with L.R.D A
over the tribe's right to adopt a tribal
constitution. I have since told
LRDA that I will not sign a new
contract with them or take any tees
torn dm NehherwiOIsipiaooatract
with or tths any feat for work on the
tribePrecognition bill from any other
aroupor segmentof thsLambss Tribe
It is important that I remain loyal only
to my client tht Lambit Tribe. To
do that. I can no lonasr contact with
any oaa sevment of the tribe. 1 assure
yon, though, that I will tnarianr to
represent As tribe on the Lumbee
Recognition Bill to the bast of my
ability and will do whatever wash is
necesaary to obtain nmsnMofthe bill
Secondly, there have bean reports
I >3 a. 91^:?? 1
about possible changes to the
recognition bill. Some people
associated with LRDA ashed the
sponsor of the Lumbee Bill,
Congressman Charlie Rose, about
changing the bill so that LRDA would
be recognized as a temporary tribal
government, pending the adoption of
a constitution at some later date As
has been reported in the press, Mr.
Rose advised that he opposed any
amendments to the Dill. In addition,
one or more people associated with
LRDA attempted to hire another
lobbyist in Washington, D C. for the
same purpose Apparently, LRDA has
abandoned this effort. As a result, the
Lumbee Tribe is now united behind
passage of the Lumbee bill as presently
written.
Thirdly. I have also volunteered
my time to assist the Lumbee
Constitutional Aaaembly ia the
drafting of n Lumbee tribal
constitution The Lumbee
Recognition Bill requires thm the tribe
adopt a tribal constitution and the
Bureau of Indian AfEsire has advised
that the sooner the tribe does so the
better, la other words, there is no
from working on both the recognition
bill and the adoption of n tribal
constitution la fret, I fed privileged
to have been associated with the
Lumbee Comtiiutiiwal Assembly and
will loanmw to assist data ia say
way poewblc The Assembly has
worked herd to drefl n good Lmatrtsaa
a
interests of the Lure bee people and
not any one individual or group of
individuals
Finally, our recognition bill is doing
well. As you knaw.ltpassed the House
of Representatives this fell. It is now
ia the Senate, awaiting vote then.
of the Senate Committee on Indian
Affairs and long-tune supporter of
Lumbee recognition, wrote a letter to
the Majority Leader of the SetMUe
asking for time to debate the Lumber
recognition bill once the Congress
comes back from its spring recess.
Congress returns April llth.
HopcAtlly. our bill will come up fcr a
vote shortly after that date. In the
meantime, we am working with both
senators from North Carol ina and hope
to have the support of one. if not both,
when the b4U cornea up Due to the
hard wortt of Roee, wear* aleo told
that the President will aha the bill
once It Is passed by the Senate^ Our
racoSStkm bill an better now than
ever before
To keep you informed on prepress
write an open latter to the'iribal
membership from dme to tune In
addition. I would be happy to naawer1
