Which native american tribe is Fake?

Answer 1

The Lumbee indians are not a historic tribe of native Americans and are not a tribe of aboriginal american indians but do however,self-identify as such.

The Lumbee/Croatan have no native American Indian language or customs attributed to them ,have no indian words or names and have never spoken any native American language.The Lumbee self-identify as Indian.

The people now calling themselves Lumbee are a mixed race group who are mostly White-Black with a smidge of Native blood(of indeterminate tribal affiliation). They had to downplay their African or mixed heritage and exigerate and overstate their "Native American" identity because of the intense racism in the past. They have been identified as mixed black/white ancestry from the 1700s and were speaking ENGLISH even in the earliest historical references. A considerable amount of genealogical research shows the majority of the founding "Lumber" families descend from free black males and white females that came down from early Virginia settlements.

They participated in colonial life as "individuals" not as any recognized tribe. Paying taxes, buying property, mustering in colonial and American militias same as all other colonials.

Early colonial records list Lumbee ancestors "as is all "free negors "and mulattos" on kings land and that "no Indians "live in Robeson County area.

They were "never identified as an intact tribe that entered into a treaty with the US.

They have never been a sovereign nation or had reservation lands.

typically the Lumbee lived as "Individuals or free colonist on farms.

They initially put forward an origin story that they were the descendants of the "Lost Colony." Then it was Croatan then a Cherokee origin and then sioux

.

In response to the Southern White backlash to Reconstruction and the tightening of racial laws, the people now calling themselves Lumbee really began to assert their Indian identity. They petitioned for federal recognition as Cherokees. Then a splinter group began to identify as Tuscarora. Now they claim to be descended from Cheraw or "Siouan" people. Their claim of origins has historically been changing for centuries. The Lumber DNA project indicates that the Native American element makes up only a very small fractional component of their ancestry (both on themt DNA and Y-DNA lines).No definite Native American markers have been attributed to individuals that self-identify as Lumbee. The bottom line is they are a distinct people who created the name "Lumber" around 1957 for their group after the Lumber river .

There is really no indigenous culture or Indian Language that can be pointed to or attributed to Lumber and definitely no "full bloods" around.The Che raw origin is a recent new theory but has no scientific backing.The chewer went extinct in the early 1700,s.The Lumber in 2010 joined with a Casino firm Lewis Int.LAC to work on getting gaming and a Casino and are now seeking full federal recognition to receive funding. The Yakima valley is sort of fake to it is make up of a the rejects of all of the tribes.

Answer 2

1. Claiming to be the biggest tribe east of the Mississippi, why is it they were NOT involved in the genocide Trail of Tear? because they were NEVER Native American.

2. They can't recall one treaty w/ the government, when real tribes had over thousands broken treaties.

3. Their own DNA project discredit them. Even the 0-1% of unknown Native Americans DNA possibly be

Latina. Even illegal migrant carried more Native DNA.

4. They keep changing their stories & names; from Souian, Cheraw, Tuscans, Croatans, Cherokee, Indian of Roberson county & now lumbee.

5. Claiming to be so many tribe now, they can’t speak any languag, just a sithee Louisiana English accent.

6. They continuing stealing culture from other tribes. Their members are stealing Navajo names like Nakai,

putting on painted face on their bogus powwows, the medicine wheel does not belong on their banner, it's the northern plains tribes thing. All of this while playing race card to get federal

recognized upon lying to the public is

disgusting to real tribes.
