The program which will take place at 7 p.m in the Thomas Assembly Room of the Native American Resource Center, is co-sponsored by the UNCP Friends of.thc Library, the Native American Resource Center and the Department of American Indian Studies. Dr Walt Wolfram, a linguistics professor and specialist from NC State and collaborator of the book. viH also be speaking The event is free of charge and open to the public A reception w ill follow the program New book about Lumbee Language available at UNCP By Lyianne Charles The new book "Fine in the world: Lumbcc Language in Time and Place" written by Walt Wolfram, Clare Dannenberg. Stanley Knick and Linda Oxcndinc. is now available at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke's Native American Resource Center (NARC) . The book, which is an easy and interesting read, discusses the origins and evolution of what is referred to as Lumbcc English over the course of several centuries and in the context of Lumbcc culture. Co-authors of "Fine in the World." Dr Stanley Knick and Dr. Linda Oxcndinc. arc professors at The University of North Carolina at Pern broke. Dr Wolfram, a linguistics professor at North Carolina State University. has studied dialects in the Tar Heel State for many years Dr Dannenberg is a professor of English at Virginia Tech "All humans do mark ethnic boundaries through language, and the Lumbce have done this by developing their own form of English." Dr Knick said "Fine in the World" also discusses the similarities between Lumbce English and other dialects, but notes the variances that make Lumbee English a distinct form It also notes how Lumbce English continues to evolve as it comes in contact with other ethnicities "This form of English evolved over time as people came into contact with each other, It is a form of speaking English that has been shaped by a group of people and is entrenched in our culture and so is a part of our identity." said Dr. Oxendine, who is chair of UNCP's American Indian Studies Department Dr Oxendine also stressed that Lumbee students should learn standard English, but she said that they should not have to sacrifice their own way of speaking She said that Luijibec children learn to speak standard English at school, but their connections to the Lumbee community keep them in contact with Lumbce English. Neither Dr Knick nor Dr Oxendine believes that Lumbee English is in danger of becoming extinct. Dr. Oxendine noted that since 1887. there had been an effort to standardize Lumbee English, but it had failed "Even with pressure of over 100 years and the categorization of Lumbee English as bad' English, it has survived," Dr. Oxendine said. The book notes that, unlike other Native American groups who lost their ancestral languages fairly late, the Lumbcc people lost their traditional language carls because they were exposed to the English colonists and language earlier than the other groups "Early contact lead to earlier loss of traditional languages." Dr Knick said He said it is important to know this because of the argument that some people make that the Lumbcc people arc not Native American because they have no traditional language He said it is important to note that there was once a language spoken by the Lumbcc people and now the only word left if "Lumbcc" Dr Knick also said the disappearance of the traditional Lumbcc Language did not destroy Lumbcc culture "Humans adapt, that's who we arc The disappearance of the ancestral language, while it is a sad thin, did not stop the Lumbec people from being Indian They just went about it in a different way." he said He said that it is important to note that. Language if fluid We tend to see language as a solid, where nouns and verbs arc fixed, but language is liquid, it flows " Dr Oxcndinc said the greatest impact of "Fine in the World" is that, "It will help both Lumbcc and non-Lumbcc understand why we speak as we do. and. hopefully, it will take away the label that it is bad It is just different and different docs not mean deficient." "Fine in the World" is published by the Humanities Extension Publications of North Carolina State University; Raleigh. N.C.; 2002 and is on sale at UMCP's Native American Resource Center and costs SI 5 plus tax. I.yzonne Charles is a senior journalism major at VNC Pembroke.
