  With over 50,000 enrolled members, North Carolina's Lumbee Indians are the largest Native American tribe east of the Mississippi River. This title describes how, between Reconstruction and the 1950s, the Lumbee maintained a distinct identity in an era defined by racial segregation in the South and paternalistic policies for Indians in the nation.
