We are introducing the Lumbee Fairness Act to extend federal recognition to the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. This legislation aims to offer the tribe access to the same federal services and benefits available to other federally recognized tribes, while also facilitating land trust opportunities and clarifying jurisdictional arrangements with the State of North Carolina.
