The guest on the discussion seemed very dillusional in their opinions. Ridiculous. We have ICE arresting and detaining American Indigenous people consistently. Maybe ICE needs to read the executive orders.

The Lumbee Tribe has a unique history concerning federal recognition. They were partially recognized by North Carolina in 1885 and received limited federal recognition through the Lumbee Act in 1956. However, this act denied them many federal benefits typically associated with full recognition. The tribe’s partial status meant they were not eligible for certain claims under ICC processes, which primarily focused on recognized tribes.

Hmmm… That would have to be on Real Blood count of Original peoples of the Region and , a Full blown LANGUAGE, TO be considered a """People of their own""", , And customs , ways of life , blessing practices , without, Foreigners influences whatsoever.. MIXED peoples of Immigrants descendants, does not really count … as the bible called gentiles…. when you put those words in plain sight …

Trump's been making noises about Natives not being covered by the 14th amendment, from which we were purposely omitted. He's determined that we might not be constitutionally allowed birthright citizenship without an amendment. Where's this going?

Of course, our current president whose idol and inspiration is Andrew Jackson, our current president has made it no secret that he is not an ally to native people………except those who are the most well known pretendians in North America, our president seems to hate all natives except those who only pretend to be native, real native are at risk of deportation, fake natives are at high risk of federal recognition….

There's a band of Northern Chiccawwa familiar with some outstanding contention where outside Federal Nation of Great Tribal Community is compared to inside this same Federation.
Had been offered membership to Nation before the Big Sails and had deferred the offer of inclusion. Then two ways before rethinking the offer and subsequently accepting membership.

You – are the embodiment of the mismanagement from a broken system.

I agree with the third commentator, let's not be too hasty, lets give the administration an opportunity to make these evaluations. It could lead to more funding for the tribes if funding has been cut short because of the substantial waist. I want to give Trump the opportunity to respond before I draw any negative conclusions
@angiejefferys5779
September 18, 2025 at 7:46 am
Trump doing more for the tribes is definitely welcomed
@angiejefferys5779
September 18, 2025 at 7:46 am
I'm not excited about that judgement but, eh! It would be nice if the recognized tribes would be more amicable towards the Tuscarora then the Lumbee. That being said I'm not a tribal member so what do I know

He is correct regarding the measles Vax alone. That is only 1! The information regarding this 1 vac. shows it is NOT WELL understood. That's a fact not an assumption.
