- Description:
- H.R. 12216 seeks to amend the Act of July 7, 1956, relating to the Lumbee Indians of North Carolina. The Lumbee Indians are a rural agrarian people living in Robeson and surrounding counties in North Carolina. They have never had a reservation and have not received services as a group from the BIA. The bill aims to remove restrictions on Lumbee eligibility for programs for non-federally recognized tribes, but will not make them eligible for BIA services as a tribe.
