Lumbee tribal members debate extent of territory
FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 2003

Members of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina are voting on Saturday to consider a change to their constitution that will define the tribe's territory.

Currently, the constitution identifies the entire state. The referendum, if approved, would limit tribal territory to four counties.

Some in the tribe feel limiting the territory will improve their chances of gaining federal recognition through Congress.
