    December 29, 2016 ...128 years ago today, a group of Lumbee petitioned the United States Government for recognition as an American Indian tribe. That fight continues today.

    1880s Race Codes are now obsolete and affordable DNA testing is interesting to the North Carolina Lumbee Indians, Louisiana Creoles of Color, Appalachian Melungeons, and Black Seminoles.

    Anyway, the North Carolina Lumbee Tribe has a very interesting history available on Laptop. They were classified as mullatto then several other classification and now want to be an Indian Tribe. With mix DNA, it seems difficult to decide upon one's race.

    Once the decision is made, do you become a winner or loser...positive or negative attitude?

    Conclusion: Sad but true...we need to be Americans and not Hyphenated- Americans.
