Changing Lifestlyes - Living Longer < < back Focus Areas Changing Lifestyles Living Longer program focuses on the impact of chronic diseases such as cancer, obesity, and diabetes among Lumbee tribal membership living in the tribal services areas of Cumberland, Hoke, Robeson, and Scotland counties. Excess body weight increases the risk of developing and dying from many types of cancer? About one in three cancer deaths in the U.S. is related to poor nutrition and the lack of physical activity, with obesity as a major factor? Two out of three Americans are overweight or obese? Evidence suggests that a diet low in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, and high in red and processed meats can increase the risk of several of the most common cancers? It is far easier to avoid gaining weight than it is to lose it? Avoiding weight gain has clear benefits for reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer? Balancing caloric intake with physical activity plays an important role in maintaining a healthy weight or losing weight? At least 30- 60 minutes of physical activity 5 or more days per week is recommended? Services Provided Community forums that educate the Lumbee Tribal Community concerning the importance of preventive health measures and the causes of some chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and the burgeoning effects of obesity.

For Immediate Release PEMBROKE, N.C. — On June 25, 2026, the Tribal Council of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina held an emergency meeting at the request of council members. The Council heard from tribal citizens during the public comments portion of the meeting and discussed the outcome of the June 23, 2026, special election regarding a proposed amendment to the Tribe’s Constitution. The Tribal Council debated potential Council action and received legal advice from its General Counsel. The Tribal Council considered and approved the following motion by a vote of 17-1, after all discussions concluded. In light of the unclear language contained in our Constitution and for similar reasons, I move we direct the General Counsel to take any/all steps, based on his best professional judgment, to explore any/all legal pathways that would allow this Nation’s 575th federally recognized Tribe – the Lumbee Tribe of NC – in pursuit of its sovereign and earned right to pursue Hospitality and Entertainment opportunities, to include gaming. After the motion passed, the Council discussed different strategies that could be used to engage the Tribal community, including holding public hearings and establishing a mechanism by which tribal citizens could submit written comments, if the Council decided to move forward with any further consideration of the gaming matter. After the meeting, Speaker Alex Baker said, “The recent result of the proposed amendment means the Tribe does not currently have a clear path forward on gaming. But it does not mean our work stops. It means we must listen, learn, and rebuild trust where trust was strained.” Baker emphasized, “My fellow Council members and I have a duty to explore economic development opportunities on behalf of our tribal citizens. And we expect our General Counsel to lay out potential legal pathways to move forward, to include engaging the Tribal Supreme Court, if necessary, to help bring about some much-needed clarity to the wording in our most sacred governing document — our Constitution.” Baker went on to say, “Tribal Council members are actively engaged in meaningful consultation and discussions with their constituents and the broader community over where things stand today.” He closed by commenting, “Our Tribe is resilient and strong. As this country’s most recently fully recognized American Indian Tribe, we are exercising our sovereignty by debating and considering pathways forward that will lay the foundation for the generations that will follow, and I am honored to work with my fellow Council members, Chairman John Lowery, and most importantly, our tribal citizens, as we chart our God-given destiny.”
