FERR001. Ferreri, Eric. “American
Indians seek voice at UNC; the Carolina Indian Circle is quickly lobbying
for increased recognition.” Chapel Hill Herald Monday,
6 November 2000: page 1. 852 words.
Publication type: Newspaper Article

Universe
The article features Rachel Blue, a Lumbee who
chose to go to UNC-Chapel Hill rather than the more familiar and closer
to home UNC-Pembroke. She is very conscious of being a minority at
UNC-Chapel Hill, since there are only 140 Native American students (less
than 1% of enrollment). Through the Carolina Indian Circle, a student
organization, she is participating in efforts to replace Anthony Locklear,
a Native American assistant dean in the student counseling office who,
while he was in the position, befriended Native American students.
The group also hopes the university will develop an American Indian Studies
curriculum. Blue describes questions Native American students are asked
by non-Native students that would seem discriminatory or offensive if they
weren't clearly based on ignorance.
