Four Tuscarora groups in and around Robeson County
are seeking federal recognition. Two groups--the Tuscarora Nation East
of the Mountains and the Tuscarora Tribe of North Carolina--are petitioning
the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Tuscarora Nation of North Carolina and
the Tuscarora Nation of Kau-ta-noh are meeting with U.S. senators and representatives
to try to change the 1956 Lumbee Act so that all Indians in Robeson and
adjoining counties are not considered Lumbee. The four Tuscarora groups,
with approximately 3,000-5,000 members, are just beginning to talk to each
other about pursuing federal recognition as one tribe.
