UNCP002. “UNCP professor
publishes new text on North Carolina Indians.” Carolina Indian
Voice 1 April 1999:4.
Publication type: Newspaper article
Description of a new book by Thomas Ross, geography
professor at UNC-Pembroke. American Indians in North Carolina: geographic
interpretations (item ROSS001)
devotes a chapter to the Lumbee as well as to each other major tribe in
the state. Ross calls North Carolina’s Indians “Phoenix
Indians” because of their revival in population in the late twentieth
century. There were around 50,000 Indians in the state at the time
of European contact, but only 1,516 accounted for in the 1860 census.
The 1990 census lists over 80,000, and there will probably be 100,000
by the 2000 census.
