instance, resources about the Lumbee may have the following subject
headings in the library catalog:
Lumbee Indians
Federally recognized Indian tribes--North Carolina
Indians
of North America--North

Use the keyword search box on the Libraries’ web site
to find information about a specific tribe or region.
