Bill overview
The Lumbee Fairness Act seeks to grant federal recognition to the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, a group of Native Americans in Robeson County, North Carolina, who have long sought official recognition. This would allow the tribe and its members to access federal services and benefits, similar to those available to other federally recognized tribes. The bill also authorizes the federal government to take land into trust for the tribe and establishes a process for determining the tribe's service needs and outlines a framework for jurisdiction between the state of North Carolina and the federal government.
