This brief article, reprinted from the Robesonian,

-
the tribe's formation from the amalgamation of other tribes
with colonists;
-
their military service in the Revolutionary War and War of
1812;
-
denial of voting privileges, military service, and attendance
of white churches and schools due to the North Carolina Constitution of
1835; and
-
the various tribal names, with most attention given to the
efforts by D.F. Lowry, Harry West Locklear, C.E. Locklear, and L.W. Jacobs
that resulted in the Lumbee Act of 1953.
