Congratulations to the cast of “Strike at the Wind!” who gave an amazing performance on the newly renovated stage of the Adolph Dial Amphitheater on Saturday night. Here are some photos. Attendees enjoyed the new stadium seats and took in the new opening introduction for the drama. It was a beautiful night! See the drama live this Summer: Thursday through Saturday, July 25, 26, & 27. The pre-show begins at 6:40 pm and the drama begins at 7:30 pm. The play tells the story of the Lowrie War in 1865. It chronicles the life of Henry Berry Lowrie, who led a band of men in a seven-year battle after the Confederate Home Guard after they murdered Henry's father and brother. Henry and the Lowrie gang exacted a vigilante justice against the Home Guard of Robeson County and those who actively oppressed the Indian people. Though the Lowrie gang were regarded as outlaws and renegades by those on the wrong end of their guns, the American Indian people for whom they fought hail them to this day as Heroes. The production is one of the longest-running outdoor dramas in N.C. The drama debuted at the Lumbee Tribal Cultural Center in 1976. Tickets are $10 (including tax).

For Immediate Release Lumbee Tribe Host Housing Fair to offer the community tools to improve housing decisions Pembroke, NC (July 19, 2024) - On Saturday, July 20, 2024 the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina will welcome the community to the 1st Annual Lumbee Tribe Housing Fair. The event brings together housing experts to offer expertise on a range of housing issues for homeowners or home renters. Attendees will be able to speak with housing vendors and also construction experts with insight into housing options related to home financing, maintaining a home once you purchase, repair/remodel and purchasing options. The housing fair is free and open to the public and anyone who has a goal to own or maintain a safe and affordable home. The Lumbee Tribe is a housing leader across the region and has gained national recognition as a model for its housing program. In 2023, the tribal staff celebrated building its 250th home. The organization continues to create new planned communities across its four-county territory. While working with tribal citizens, Bradley Locklear, Lumbee Tribe Housing Director, and the staff members see daily the need for education or better understanding for families as they prepare to make such an important decision as purchasing a new home. “Even if someone doesn’t qualify for the tribe's housing programs, we want to open our doors to our community partners that make our housing programs so successful and connect them with our community members,” said Locklear. We are a top performing tribal housing organization on a national scale and across Indian country, but regionally as well.” This first Annual Housing Fair on July 20, 2024 will welcome families from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Lumbee Tribe Boys & Girls Club. The address is 120 Youth Drive Pembroke, NC which is behind the Lumbee Tribe Housing Complex on NC Hwy 711. This event will offer information about housing options relevant to renters, homeowners and those seeking to begin their process. Attendees will also receive information on maintaining a home, refinancing and much more. Resources and information will be provided by area experts such as real estate agents, lawyers, licensed general contractors, architects, financial educators, lenders, mobile home dealers, and housing non-profit organizations. Lumbee Tribal Chairman Lowery said the housing fair will meet a key need for families. “This is a great opportunity for our tribal citizens to gain a better understanding of the homeowner process,” said Lowery. “We understand that purchasing a home for the first time can be overwhelming and we hope this fair will help ease some of that stress.” The tribal staff says the event will have something for everyone, including food trucks on hand for attendees. “Regardless if you are a high wage earner with a lot of equity in your home, or a young couple curious about new home options, we want to provide an environment where those questions can be answered by a wide range of professionals,” said Bradley Locklear.
