	Lumbee
		Lumbees are also in the unique position of living in a tri-racial isolate, and analyses of racial issues would be sociologically valueable.

		Although Lumbees are not recognized by the Federal Government, the North Carolina State Government does recognize the Lumbees as an Indian tribe.

	Lumbee Language and the Lumbee Indian Culture (Croatan, Croatoans, Pamlico, Carolina Algonquian)
		English was used extensively among the Lumbee tribe, both as a practical lingua franca and also as a first language (due to intermarriage with English speakers), and the original Lumbee languages fell into disuse and finally extinction.
		People: The Lumbee Indians have been denied federal status as an Indian nation because of their high degree of mixed blood--their ancestors include Cheraw, Tuscarora, and Croatan Indians, many African-Americans (the tribe was known for sheltering runaway slaves), and, in all likelihood, members of the original "lost" colony of Roanoke.
		Lumbee historian Adolph Dial made the case that the Croatans and their English guests were among the ancestors of today's Lumbee Indians, who resurfaced some 50 years later speaking English, practicing Christianity, and sporting the same last names many of the colonists had brought with them.

	Musical History of the Lumbee Indians
		The Lumbee community's fair amount of separation from its neighbors probably also led to a similar environment where the original teachings of missionaries evolved according to the needs and customs of the community, apart from the steady influence of outsiders.
		Lumbees took up shape-note singing and part harmony enthusiastically in the twentieth century, probably following their White neighbors or travelling missionaries who had been exposed to the singing schools.
		Lumbee use of musical forms hinges ultimately on the best means to pass on our faith in God and relationship to Him, a relationship that has an institutional and systematic form that has been developed and polished over time.
