All applications must be submitted by April 11th, as the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina prepares to honor all Lumbee High School and College Students who are potential 2026 graduates at the Lumbee Cords of Honor Ceremony. Applications are now open to graduates. These cords represent this important milestone in the life of our Lumbee Students. The cords comprise the colors of the Lumbee Tribal Seal and the Medicine Wheel. This symbolism represents the four directions and the four seasons, as well as our sacred path in life.
