Most Lumbee believe they are the descendants of hte lost English colonists of Roanoke Island and of the Hatteras Indians, and the tribe adapted quickly to European methods of dress, agriculture, and architecture. The Lumbee were for many years treated as virtual equals by white settlers, but in the first decades of the 19th century, their legal, social, and economic status began to decline with the imposition of new racial codes by white southerners. Through education and political activity, the Lumbee have claimed an ever-increasing degree of self-determination, yet their struggle for identity continues. The Lumbee were not granted official government recognition as a tribe until 1956, and even then they were denied government benefits. Despite the loss of their native language and virtually all aspects of their traditional culture, their great self-sufficiency, their adaptability, and their unwavering love of their homeland have enabled the Lumbee to sustain a unique identity as Native Americans.
