Show Notes

North Carolina’s Lumbee Tribe have been pursuing full federal recognition for over 130 years. A campaign promise kept by Donald Trump has given them hope. But it’s also renewed centuries-old questions about who gets to be Native in America.

Featuring: 

  • Sarah Nagem, editor of the Border Belt Independent
  • John Lowery, Lumbee Tribal Chairman
  • Carrie Lowry Schuettpelz, author of The Indian Card: Who Gets to Be Native in America
