Lumbee Tribe already running into controversy
Wednesday, January 19, 2005
A series of controversies has hit the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina in recent months.
The tribe's election, housing program and council meetings have been under scrutiny. In the latest incident, the tribe is battling the North Carolina Indian Housing Authority over control of a housing project. A state judge has temporarily barred the tribal council from the property.
The attention comes the tribe continues its push for federal recognition. Supporters in Congress say they don't think the troubles should affect the tribe's bid. The recognition bill failed to come to a vote last session.
