Why do I call myself Lumbee/Cheraw/? Not simply because our claim has been supported by leaders of sister tribes, anthropologists and historians, my personal genealogical research and major newspapers of this timepcrifed. but I know I am Lumbce/Chc^w because I feel and believ e in my hcfirt it is the truth. Recently, some of bur people on both sides of the Tribal Council and LRDA fence have dijfnc some historical research and they bpth (don't fall out) agree that our itjbc descends mainly from the Cherfcw andolherclosely related Siouan tripes that were forced to band together. Strike At The Wind was wonderfull) done this year and 1 have every Lumbcc. Lumbee/Cheraw. Lumbcc Tribe of Chcraw Indians, Tuscarora. andthoseinterestedinenriching their cultural education did not miss it However, the Lost Colony theory as put forth by Strike At The Wind of our beginning as a tribe has been all but disproven by sister tribes, historical accounts, and recent research. Powhatan, a powerful chief living to the North at the time of the Lost Colony stated on his deathbed that he had killed all but a few of the remaining Lost Colonists. The few remaining survivors moved further northwest and helped a neighboring tribe mine cooper. The strongest evidence of our origincomc fromour beloved river which lias been called Lumbce as far back as anyone can remember. The name Lumbce come from a Siouan word "Lombe" meaning dark describing the water of our dark river. 1 also found out recently that sister tribes called us Cheraw, Suali. and Saura which means pcoplcofthc tall grass." So what would that make the name Lumbee/Cheraw mean? People of the Tall Gra^hal live by the Dark River. If you prefer to be called Lumbce/ Cheraw, like me. we have some interesting places named after us in North Carolina. First, of course is the Lumbce river. However, there is a group of low lying mountains above Winston Salem. NC near a mouth of the Dan River, where our people lived for a time, called the Sauratown mountains. TEH CHcrokces used to call us Suali and some of our pw eople lived near tenm long ago near Asheville, NC. in what is now known as Suali Gap. ALso, if you have ever driven Highway 64 West out of Ashebro, NC, you have crossed the Uwharrie River surrounded by the lowlying Uwharrie tHills. Believe it or not. sister tribes and histrorians link us to the name Uwharrie (you HAr E) Finally, Desoto encountered our people in 1540 and called us Xuala (shoe wala) Its kind of ironic that one of our first N Alive Communities here in Robeson COunty was caslled SHoe Heel (Shoe Wala ?) which is called MAxton today In cosing I want to put in a plug for TRibal Enrollment If you or your child have not been enrolled, You don't ahvc long until the cutofT. A reliable sourcve told mc thai the Tribal Council and LRDA arc 95% in agreement to settle their difTcrcnccsd. So. enroll now bccuasc it may be your Inst chance FOlks. this is the Seventh GEneration and our forefathers had a vision that this generation would begin a great cultural reawakening. InourLumbcc/CHcraw language thee is no word for good bye. So, I leave >ou wuth these words. "Wo" nai're" which means thank you (for your time) and "Arc" which means true Walk in the true way my friends!

Gore Mountain Ski Center in North Creek was added in 1984 and the Lake Placid Winter Olympic Museum was added in 1994 ...From the Desk of the Superintendent by Dr. Barry Hardthg It still seems strange for students to be returning for the start of another school year this early in August but tomorrow's thebigday Except for our year round school at W.H Knuckles already underway, all the rest of our schools will be welcoming back their students tomorrow While students arc probably affected the most, here is definitely a ripple effect that spreads across the county with their return to school. Parents have to arrange their schedules to accommodate their children's schedules. Arrangements have to be made, for example, for transportation to and from school if the students don't ride the bus. Transportation also has to be provided for their children to get the special activities they are involved in - academic, athletic or social, Parents also should be thinking about getting involved with Jheir children's school whether as a jhembcr of the school's PTA or .-as a volunteer. They certainly should plan on staying in touch with their child's progress by scheduling occasional meetings with the child's teachers. It's important that pa rents help their children to lay out a schedule for a proper balance between time spent on extracurricular activities and lime required forthcir studies. Certainly there isa great deal to be said for many of the extracurricular activities available to them but it should be remembered that the major reason for being in school is to learn Thus, homework and the like should account for (he lion's share of mat schedule to ensure the student's academic progress. It's worthwhile to point out that, a child participates in athletics provides an opportunity to learn about teamwork and good sportsmanship. Parents can exhibit the latter, for example, by their behavior at games. It might be seen by the way a parent reacts to their child's coach or to officials - reactions which can have a positive or negative effect on their child. Respect for the coach or officials are on the same plane as respect for teachers in the classroom. Evidence of that respect is too often a result of parental influence. If the parent doesn't demonstrate respect for the teacher to the child, then the child may follow the parent's example and adversely affect learning by the child, then the child may follow the parent's example and adversely affect learning by the child as well as his or her classmates. Poor behavior in the classroom is detrimental to learning. Poor bchav-^" ior on the school bus. likewise, cannot be tolerated. It should be understood that riding the bus is a privilege that may be withdrawn for unacceptable behavior which forces parents to replace the forfeited transportation themselves. The ripple effect I mentioned earlier also affects all motorist who must acknowledge the presence of those big yellow buses on the highways. The frequent stops they make as they pick up children waiting at the roadside require constant attention The law requires you to stop your vehicle when you come upon a school bus loading or unloading passengers regardless of whether the bus is coming in your direction or the opposite one. To do otherwise could have disastrous results. Beware, also.ofchildrcn waiting at the roadside for their bus. Everyone looks fonva rd to t he start of a new school year to one degree or another. Everyone can contribute to making it a happy one Visit our web page at One Choice Computer Service6!
