First, we are pleased to announce to premier of our new video, Lumbee By Grace: Landmarks In Lumbee Identity. This thirty minute video is the culmination of more than a year of production (recording interviews on videotape, editing sounds and pictures, etc.). and portrays I.umbee people miking about what it means to them to be I.umbee. In the course of tins project, and over the years of living and working here, it has become apparent that among the things which have been consistently important in the Lumbee community are four "huidtntuk" aspects of identity. They are: home & family; the land & the river; education & Old Main; and religion & spirituality. Lumbee By Grace combines still and motion imagesof past and present, interwoven with the words of I.umbee people as they discuss these "landmarks" of Lumbee identity. The premier showings of Lurnbee By Grace w ill be held on 12 September 2(X)2 in the Native American Resource Center in ()kl Main Building. Show ings will be at 2 I'M and 7 I'M There is no admission clutrge. and the public is welcome. Lumbee By Grace is a video production of the Museum of the Native American Resource Center, the Mass Communication Department and the Media Integration Project of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. Special gratitude goes to George Johnson for his technical assistance in the making of this video, and to llarvey Godw in of Two 1 lawk employment Services for his financial support of the project. Second, w e are also pleased to announce the publication of a new book. Fine In The W'orLI: Lurnbee Language In Tune And Place. This book represents the current state of knowledge on lite subject of I.iimbcc English, its origins and development. The story of I .uinbee English is one of the most remarkable narratives of linguistic adaptability and cultural perseverance ever documented in the history of American English dialects. It shows that the l.utnbee community responded to the loss of their indigenous languages by shaping the English of their European invaders into a unique emblem of l.umbee identity. The authors (Walt Wolfram. Clare Dannenberg. Stanley Knick and l.inda Oxendine) hope that readers ssill catch a glimpse ol the significance of language as it is interwoven into the fabric ot I .umbee hie. Fine In '/'he World was produced by North Carolina Stale University's Humanities Extension Publications, and is available at the Native American Resource Center.
