Message from the Chairman
During this time of uncertainty, and economic instability, as Chairman of the Lumbee Tribe, I want to take this opportunity to assure tribal members, and our community partners, that the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina is committed and stands ready to continue providing services and administering programs to the four county territory.
I am convinced that America is still the greatest place on Mother Earth. Despite these times, despite the negative things we hear, we must believe. We must have faith in one another. We must return to the values of old; to the values of brotherhood, of servitude and of love for one another. We can lift one another up by being concerned for one another, and when we do, then we shall realize what we have heard so much from our elders; a rising tide lifts all ships! Let us come together and be that tide that lifts this whole region out of the turmoil and despair we find and see so often around us. Thank you and until again…
signed Jimmy Goins,
Tribal Chairman Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina
