LUMBERTON -- Superior Court Judge Howard
Manning has named his 17 appointments to a
commission that will arrange a governmental election
for the Lumbee Indian Tribe.
With Manning’s appointments, which were filed
Tuesday, the 39-member Lumbee Self-Determination
Commission is complete. The commission’s mandate
will be to find out what kind of government the
Lumbee people want and to set up a way for creating
it.
Both the Tribal Council of the Lumbee Tribe of
Cheraw Indians and the Lumbee Regional
Development Association contend that they are the
rightful government of the nation’s 40,000 to 50,000
Lumbee Indians, most of whom live in and around
Robeson County.
On April 21, Manning ordered the Lumbee Tribal
Referendum Election Committee to stop its effort to
hold an election and announced the formation of the
commission. The Tribal Council has appealed that
decision.
Manning named Jim Lowry of High Point to be
chairman of the commission. His other appointments
are Joyce F. Locklear of Lumberton, Helen S. Lowry
of Pembroke, Dr. Waltz Maynor of Durham, Richard
D. Locklear of Landis, Weldon Freeman of Cary, Kent
Chavis of Maxton, Ruth L. Revels of Greensboro, Vail
Carter of Charlotte, Renee O. Hunt of Rowland,
Furnie Lambert of Maxton, Linda B. Locklear of
Maxton, James E. Goins of Red Springs, Velenda
Morgan of Shannon, Proctor Locklear Jr. of Raeford,
Larry Locklear of Red Springs and Ralph Hunt of
Lumberton.<<END EXCERPT
