Category: 17.5. Efforts to obtain federal recognition
BROW003. Brown, Cynthia. [Reply to letter
from Richard H. Houghton III] Nation 257 no. 21 (20 December
1993): 750.
Publication type: Magazine article
Brown counters various points in Houghton's letter
concerning her article, “The Varnished Native Americans” (item
BROW002). Concerning the Lumbee, she asserts
that Houghton either hasn't checked his facts concerning BIA requirements
for federal recognition or is deliberately obfuscating them. She
states that the requirements do not include a tribal language, religion,
or reservation, and that the Lumbees' identification by North Carolina
statutes since 1885 can substitute for federal treaties or trusts in demonstrating
their “substantial continuous Indian identity.”
Additional Subjects: Bureau of Indian Affairs
