Description
How does a group of people who have American Indian ancestry but no records of treaties, reservations, Native language, or peculiarly Indian customs come to be accepted – socially and legally – as Indians? To discover how this unlikely transition has been made by the Lumbee Indians of Robeson County, North Carolina, is Karen I. Blu’s object in this work, an inquiry into the makeup of the Lumbee as a people as well as a revealing look at the shaping of Indian – and group – identity in general.
