Thank you to everyone that attended the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina’s District 4 Community Meeting hosted by Councilman Jody Bullard at the Burnt Swamp Fire Department. Lumbee Tribal staff provided key information regarding the services and programs offered to Lumbee Tribal citizens. Attendees had the opportunity to learn about CIP, Crisis Intervention Program, which provides individuals that have experienced a sudden crisis with financial assistance. To better accommodate our tribal citizens that are unable to enroll or update their enrollment during business hours, our Enrollment Department is OPEN until 8 pm on Mondays. Staff also discussed the renovations that will occur at the cultural center. These renovations include completing the other half of the circle of the arbor and adding water and sewer to allow for camping. Dr. Cherry Beasley, Director of Health and Human Services Department, informed the attendees that there were over 800 health surveys that describes and reveals the health needs throughout our tribe and tribal territory. The data collected from these surveys are in Chapel Hill being analyzed. Upon completion, this data will be owned by the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina only.
