User's Guide to the Carolina Indian Voice Index

Index to the Carolina Indian Voice, Jan. 18, 1973 – Feb. 4, 1993

In terms of newspaper issues covered, this index is complete only through May 16, 1991 because of issues missing from my subscription. From that date through Feb. 4, 1993, I have indexed the issues I received. A few major articles from Feb. 11 through Oct. 28, 1993, were included. Because of space constraints and the time such indexing consumes, the index is selective. It includes major articles dealing with Lumbees or Tuscaroras which were judged potentially useful to researchers. These types of articles were excluded: weddings; wedding anniversaries; most family reunions; engagement announcements; birthday parties; beauty pageants; most retirements; most club and service organization news; notes on individuals in the military; most church and fire department news; high school homecomings; social columns; most obituaries; minor awards and achievements; and news on Indian tribes outside North Carolina (except for articles on Lumbees in other states). Regular columns are noted under their broad topic; for instance, "Baltimore (MD)". Except for installments with special research value, regular columns were not indexed. Articles on one particular political campaign, or articles listing results of one election, were indexed under that office (for example, "Robeson County—Board of Education—Elections"). If an article discusses several campaigns, or if an issue of the Carolina Indian Voice contains several separate articles on elections, only one entry appears, under "Elections." Articles on meetings of the county commissioners, county Board of Education, and Pembroke Town Council were indexed under the name of the organization. Only major articles on LRDA and the Title IV Compensatory Indian Education program were included.

Announcements of new businesses in Pembroke; biographical sketches on elderly Lumbees and on Lumbees who have made outstanding accomplishments; and PSU or high school class reunions were indexed. The following topics were indexed extensively: Strike at the Wind!; Lumbee Homecoming; Gene Locklear and other athletes and artists; any articles related to research, publications, or historical information on Lumbees or Tuscaroras; and controversial topics (double-voting, the school system merger, PSU chancellor selection, the PSU/UNC-P issue, and the Robesonian hostage-taking). Editorials and letters to the editor were indexed selectively.

If two or more articles on the same topic appear in the same issue, the references were combined. For instance: Strike at the Wind! L Jl 19 79: 1, 2. indicates an article on page 1 and letters to the editor on page 2.

Assume "Lumbee" as a modifier for general headings. For instance, "Art and Artists" refers to Lumbee people who practice art or are professional artists.

An asterisk indicates an especially important article. Personal names, in most cases, were not standardized; they are listed exactly as given in the articles. Search under any variations of a person's name that you might be aware of. Articles on two different individuals with the same name may be listed together.

Index headings and subheadings were not always applied consistently, so check under any possible headings for a topic. Follow up on all cross-references.
