Re: Chavis Hashaw Indian African-Carolinas

Dear Tim:

I wrote a legal research paper on the Lumbee Indians a few years ago as part of a law school course on Native American Law. My paper focused on the issue of race and how it has complicated the Lumbee's quest for federal tribal recognition. I would be interested in knowing the source of your information that traces the Lumbees back to Angola. I am actively researching my ownNorth and South Carolina lineage. You may want to check out Paul Heinegg's Free African Americans of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland and Delaware.

Thanks
