==History==
The Lumbee Tribe is a state-recognized tribe located in Robeson County and adjoining counties. Since 1956, the Lumbee Tribe has sought out federal recognition through the Lumbee Act. Twelve years later, Lumbee individuals created an organization which would help the Lumbee people in many ways. In the winter of 1967-68, Bruce Jones (Lumbee), Horace Locklear (Lumbee), Rod Locklear (Lumbee), and Gerald Sider worked extensively to establish an Indian poverty program agency, known as the Regional Development Association (RDA).〔Sider, Gerald M., and Gerald M. Sider. Living Indian Histories: Lumbee and Tuscarora People in North Carolina. Chapel Hill, North Carolina: University of North Carolina Press, 2003.pg 260.〕 It would help primarily Indians, but African Americans as well.〔Sider, Gerald M., and Gerald M. Sider. Living Indian Histories: Lumbee and Tuscarora People in North Carolina. Chapel Hill, North Carolina: University of North Carolina Press, 2003. pg 260.〕 At first, RDA was a shell organization: a charter, a board of directors and little else. In 1970, the organization began to expand inside the channels of the Lumbee people's hopes and claims.〔Sider, Gerald M., and Gerald M. Sider. Living Indian Histories: Lumbee and Tuscarora People in North Carolina. Chapel Hill, North Carolina: University of North Carolina Press, 2003.pg 263.〕 The Lumbees saw the need to expand the association that would benefit the tribe socially, culturally, economically, and politically. As it developed, it quickly transformed into Lumbee Regional Development Association (LRDA), with an all-Indian board of directors and a specific Lumbee focus.〔Sider, Gerald M., and Gerald M. Sider. Living Indian Histories: Lumbee and Tuscarora People in North Carolina. Chapel Hill, North Carolina: University of North Carolina Press, 2003.pg 263.〕 The Lumbee Regional Development Association (LRDA) is a non-profit corporation, chartered by the State of North Carolina, organized to analyze and develop solutions for the health, educational, economic, and general welfare problems of rural and urban Indians in and around Robeson.

Federally funded programs are currently administered by the Lumbee citizens of these neighboring counties from the LRDA offices in Pembroke, N.C. Since its establishment, LRDA has founded and supported many projects that are either targeted around Robeson and adjoining counties or specifically, the Indians of Robeson County. Projects include the Head Start Program, Thrifty Food Co-ops, Talent Research Project, Lumbee Homecoming, the funding of the Old Main at Pembroke State University and Strike at the Wind.〔Ben Jacobs, “Overview of the Lumbee Tribe and the Lumbee Regional Development Association,” in 1986: The Year of the Native American, Lumbee Homecoming Program, in the Helen Maynor Scheirbeck Papers #5526, Southern Historical Collection, The Wilson Library, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.〕
