This installment in a series on the context of
the Lumbee focuses on similarities and differences between the Lumbee and
other Native American groups. One difference between the Lumbee and
some other groups is that the Lumbee do not now speak an ancient language
or use ancient styles of dress or housing; however, this is also true of
many other Native Americans. The Lumbee are similar to other Native
American groups in that they have higher than average rates of gall bladder
disease, diabetes, middle ear infections, and lactose intolerance.
Other similarities are the Lumbee emphasis on kinship, extended family,
and informal leadership structures.
