Reinterpreting a Native American Identity: Examining the Lumbee through the Peoplehood Model (Hardcover)
This book uses the Peoplehood Model to argue for a more consistent recognition process grounded in indigenous methodology. The text centers on four aspects of peoplehood--language, sacred history, territory/place, and ceremonial cycle--and shows how they inform the Lumbee identity and counter arguments derived from the Western Colonial Model.
