Trump Moves to Grant Federal Recognition to Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to assist the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina in obtaining full federal recognition, a step they have sought for over a century. This recognition would enable the tribe to access federal benefits for housing, schools, and healthcare. The Lumbee Tribe, with about 55,000 members, is the largest tribe east of the Mississippi River and has faced numerous obstacles in achieving federal recognition. The executive order requires the Interior Department to develop a plan within 90 days, marking a pivotal moment in the tribe's long-standing struggle. However, the move has faced opposition from other tribes, including the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, who argue that the Lumbee's claims lack sufficient evidence. The Lumbee Tribe's fight for federal recognition is seen as a critical step toward securing resources and support for their community.
