Bücher von Malinda Maynor Lowery

As the largest Native American tribe east of the Mississippi and one of the largest in the US, the Lumbees have survived in their original homelands, maintaining a distinct identity as Indians in a biracial South. In this passionately written, sweeping work of history, Malinda Maynor Lowery narrates the Lumbees' extraordinary story as never before.

With over 50,000 enrolled members, North Carolina's Lumbee Indians are the largest Native American tribe east of the Mississippi River. This title describes how, between Reconstruction and the 1950s, the Lumbee maintained a distinct identity in an era defined by racial segregation in the South and paternalistic policies for Indians in the nation.
