f Announcing The Lumbee Indians: An
jj Annotated Bibliography Supplement 1
"j by Glenn Ellen Starr Stilling
After over three years of development. I am making public an ongoing Web-based supplement to ;|
i my 1994 book. The Lumbee Indians: An Annotated Bibliography. The URL for the Web site is: 1
lutji liunhcchiMiournpliv net The Web site lists (with detailed annotations) over 530 sources of (i
information on the Lumbee published or discovered since mid-1993. The items are arranged in 43 n
lj categories (the same ones that I used in my book, with a few new ones and with divisions of some of
!; the large categories). The sources are in a w ide range of published and unpublished formats, includi.
ing books, book chapters, journal articles, magazine articles, newspaper articles. Web sites, archival
materials, unpublished reports, dissertations, masters theses, videotapes, encyclopedia articles, and
more. Categories under which sources are listed include the following: " ']
Comprehensive overviews; Higher education & theUniversity of North Carolina at Pembroke;
Language; Literature; Drama and pageants; Art, Music and dance; parades and pageants:Religion; 1
;'j Origins of the tribe; Tribal name and identity; Tribal government;Efforts to obtain federal rec j
ogmtion; Sports and athletics; Settlements outside Robeson County; Oral history; The Lumbee
, River; Archaeological studies; The Henry Berry Lowry period; The Robeson County context;
! and Lumbee communities in Robeson County'.
i ...
For each source, the Web site provides a full citation; a detailed annotation describing the content
and ideas in the source; and (when applicable) information about how to obtain the full text of
the source electronically most times through NCLIVE databases provided by your local library or
through other databases that a university library might have. I
Over the years that I've worked on this Web site, I've been surprised and impressed by the
number and variety of writing that has been done on the Lumbee. My book listed 1,200 sources, so j
I didn't expect to find over 530 more in the eight years since it was published. Both scholarly and
popular attention to the Lumbee has been strong. To give a sampling of the work that's been done,
here are examples of some of the questions that could be answered using sources listed on the Web ;)
site: ij
vis it true that Lumbee people in the Prospect community speak differently, and more ti
authentically, than Lumbees elsewhere in Robeson County?
v Where could I find an interview with the late Dexter Brooks, recorded in 1973?
V What short story, written by Gerald Vizenor. includes a Lumbee scholar as a character?
VA manuscript of part of Ella Deloria's 1940-1941 pageant. Life Story of a People, has
been located. Where would researchers go to view it or request a photocopy?
vHow much is smokeless tobacco used among Lumbee women? How does this rate compare
to the national average for Indian women and the average for U.S. women overall?
V What are some of the best sources to read about the Lumbee struggle for true federal
\ recognition?
Vwhat Lumbee woman is founder and president of Arrowhead Space & Telecommunications.number
106 of 1998's 500 fastest-growing private companies?
v What Lumbee pop singer has three singles with Curb Records, has performed at ESPRIT
1J fashion shows and at Walt Disney's Epcot Center, and has been nominated for several Native
American Music awards? j
i v What Lumbee professional wrestler has been involved in the sport since 1989 (primarily in the
| WWF) and now wrestles on the independent circuit? " j
The Web site has other features as well: an author index: a Notable L.umbee page (listing Lumbees !
of achievement in fields such as art. music, politics, sports and athletics, higher education, and !
business, along with sources of information on each person); a list of Web sites for statistical information
about Robeson County; a list of the key sources (those that should be consulted first) in most
of the 43 categories; and an essay I wrote in April 1996 about Lumbee art. music, and literature. The
* site's banner, which appears on the home page and all other pages, features artwork by Lumbee artist
Hatty Ruth Miller.
3 The Web site is an ongoing effort and will be updated regularly. I scan a wide variety of databases.
as well as the bibliography of every item I add to the site, in search of new material. It's easy
to miss things, however; so I welcome suggestions for items not listed in the 1994 book that should i
be added. Since this is a very large site with a great deal of text. I'm sure mistakes will be found. I'll
be happy to correct any errors that are reported to me.
f My top priorities for adding sources to the site are scholarly materials (journal articles, monoi
graphs, theses, dissertations), books or book chapters, and other lengthy or substantial sources. I j
j, include newspaper articles as well, especially if they document important events, provide biographi- j
cal information, or add new information. But I ant necessarily selective.
I hope this Web site will facilitate and encourage the use of the wide range of high-quality j
I' scholarship, information, and discussion about the Lumbee people that can easily be obtained. I also
| hope it will encourage the use of library services and materials, since nearly all the sources listed can
be obtained through libraries. If you need an item listed on the site and it is not owned by your local
library or not available full text through a NCLIVE database, it can be borrowed for you through
I your library's interlibrary loan service.
