Chairman Godwin invites the community for a Day of Pray at the Tribal Complex at 9am on March 25, 2016. Please come join hands and pray for our country, community and tribal leaders.

On behalf of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, it is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of a great Lumbee Warrior, Mrs. Ruth Revels. Her death leaves a gaping hole among the ranks of our leaders, but she leaves behind a solid foundation for us to build upon. We had the privilege and opportunity to spend the weekend with Mrs. Ruth Revels at the 41st Annual North Carolina Indian Unity Conference just days ago, where she was in good spirits and continuing her fight for all Native People. Her passion for Native people shone forth in everything she did. She will be missed more than it is possible to describe and we, the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, stands ready to assist the Revels Family in their time of sorrow. Mrs. Ruth Revels, a true Lumbee warrior, will be genuinely missed by so many.

Tribal Chairman Harvey Godwin and First Lady Sheila Godwin lay flowers at the memorial for Henry Berry Lowrie for the anniversary of the Indian hero's disappearance. The marker in the Union Chapel community identifies the last place Lowrie was seen before he mysteriously disappeared on February 18, 1872. This was the day after Lowrie and his band robbed a store and the sheriffs office of $25,000 during the tumultuous days of the Reconstruction Era following the Civil War. There are many theories surrounding his disappearance but no one knows for sure what happened. The tribal chairman portrayed Henry Berry Lowrie several years in the outdoor drama Strike At The Wind! This was Godwin's first trip to the memorial. He was unaware it was there and commended the people responsible for placing the monument there in Lowries honor. Godwin said he hopes to meet the property owners to discuss building a wall around the memorial to further honor Lowrie's memory. "It's important for us to honor our Indian heroes. I hope to meet with the people who bought this monument and who keep it maintained. This is a wonderful gesture," Godwin said
