News from the Eastern
Carolina Tuscarora Nation
The Eastern Carolina Tuscarora
Nation is running another survey
for the Six Nations, for the
Mohawks, and all of the Native
people, to certify in Robeson and
adjoining counties for name
1 picking for each individual to
identify those who are recognized
and for the certification of those
who are eligible for cards entitling
them to tax-exempt status. These
cards are issued by the Six Nations
and entitle the holder to exemptions
of fishing and hunting. U is
important for the ones wno have
neversigned up as Native people to
look into this matter and see
whether the Tuscarora Nation is
carrying out true fashions
concerning this recognition.
I advise you that the housing
administrator, under Native people
ofRobeson and adjoining counties,
-v has dealt with the Federal
, Government on building homes in
Robeson County and I advise you "to
watch out for undermining
Tuscaroras claiming to be
something they are not. We are all
Indian people but wc
misunderstand one another. It is
time for Indian people to wake up
out of their genocide beds and
realize that Indian people have
been discri mi nated agai nst enough.
f you will look around at the
population of Indian people, you
have two choices. Stay with your
two party system in schools, or
take a three party system and be
able to carry your culture into the
schools. Then you will be in line
with all Native people all over this
climate of the United States where
ourchildrcn can come out of school
and speak their language like the
other nations, iryou can set aside
for our brothers and sisters from
Mexico, then you should set aside
for your own kids who are born
now. and the ones who have not yet
been born. The kids s?IH appreciate
the leaders of the day and they will.
have something to turn back to
their culture If you take culture
away then you have taken the
children's pride away for living.
Then you'll cause the kids to turn
to drugs and alcohol This is a
reminder to all church leaders
Once you leave this pride out and
kill the pride of a nation, what
wouldyou put in the place of it? We
can teach them that Jesus saves
and he's a great leader to the fat Iter
But once thekid has the pride of his
own nation and realizes what Jesus
Eridc toward his father and toward
im and toward his nation is. then
there comes a smile on his face
Then the joy hay ust begun to his
nation and the'Creator. Then he"
realizes what something sacred is
all about. Then he realizes the
Spirit of Jesus, the Spirit of the
Father and the Spirit of the Hol\
Ghost. Then he realizes that he is
the fourth one. That makes the four
winds of the spirits that come in
harmony with the universe Then
he is free and then he doesn't want
i any of the worldly things that affect
the mind ?
There is a trip being planned to
Tennessee in the near future. That
is where names will be picked for
certification for the approval of the
Tuscarora people

According to Dav c Harrington,
one of the candidates who reaped
the benefits of the Preacher's
expcrtiscand political strategy: "It
is time for sonic of us to try and
repay the Preacher for some of the
things he has done for us. Wcknow
that meeting the expenses of
medication, travel to and from
medical facilities, etc can cause a
hardship. It docs not matter how
w ell offa person mighVbe. a major
illness such as the one the Preacher
has. causes a hardship We who
arc .his friends siftiply want to
alleviate some of the financial
burden for him "
"The Preacher has been a
fighter for causes he believed in
and we ha\c all helped him in
olhcr bailies, said Barrington
"This medical badle is quite
different than other challenges the
Preacher has faced so we who arc
his friends and lo\c him want to
help him."

Luntbee Tribal Council Responds
to Congressman Rose's Bill
Congressman Charlie Rose's
Bill. #3X10. introduced in July to
federally recognize the Lumbcc
Tribe stales that LRDA would be
the interim tribal government until
a Constitution is adopted and
officials arc elected. '
The Lumbcc Tribal
Government that was put in place
by the people in 1994 certainly
supports Lumbcc Recognition
However, we do not support LRDA
as being the government because
the vote of the Lumbcc people chose
their form of government.
Congressman Rose is taking the
Democratic process into his own
hands when he goes as far as to
name an entity as the head of
government. Government is for
the people by the people, not
Congressman Rose
The tribal council is bound by
the Lumbcc Const itution to uphold
the people w ho elected them into
office This is the same way that
any elected official is bound
Congressman Rose has played the
Lumbcc people long enough. We
need to stand firm on what we
voted for-which is the Lumbcc
Constitution- and fight for
recognition ofall Lumbcc people
There is a place among the Lumbcc
forl.RDA.Thal place is determined
by Lumbcc people. not
Congressman Rose or any other
elected official.
We appreciate all the supporl
Congrcssnian Rose has given the
Lumbcc people in the past, and we
appreciate any support he can gi\ c
us in the future We ask
Congressman Rose and his
successor to supporl Lumbcc
people not an organization or any
other entity over the people's
wishes
Tire Lumbcc people hav c v oiced
what they want. We ask the
successor to Congressman Rose to
abide by the vote of the Lumbcc
people and recognize the Lumbcc
. Constitution as Our governing
document.
