NC’s Lumbee Tribe receives full federal recognition
The Lumbee Tribe has officially gained full federal recognition after the NDAA, including the Lumbee Fairness Act, was signed by President Trump.
US House NDAA, passed on Dec. 11, would grant the Lumbee Tribe full federal recognition, if the provision remains when reconciled with the US Senate version this week.
President Donald Trump signed a memorandum on Thursday afternoon directing the Secretary of the Interior to submit a plan within 90 days to assist the Lumbee Tribe in obtaining full federal recognition.
