Native American Heritage Month The Lumbee are the present-day descendants of the Cheraw Tribe and have continuously existed in and around Robeson County since the early part of the eighteenth century. In 1885, the tribe was recognized as Indian by the State of North Carolina. The tribe has sought full federal recognition from the United States Government since 1888. In 1956, Congress passed the Lumbee Act, which recognized the tribe as Indian. However, the Act withheld the full benefits of federal recognition from the tribe. Efforts are currently underway to pass federal legislation that grants full recognition to the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. The SGA will have a table set up in Dempsey Student Center with information regarding Native American Heritage Month during the month of November. If you would like more information regarding the Lumbee tribe check out: http://www.lumbeetribe.com/ Jurassic Fest Recap ! The Sandhills Community College basketball team heads into a new season with a sparkling new gymnasium it can finally call its own and a squad that has undergone an extreme makeover. Ranked No. 4 in the NJCAA Division III preseason poll, the Flyers make their annual trek to Louisburg College for the Coca-Cola Classic this weekend. They meet Howard CC (MD) at 7 p.m. on Friday and then Southside CC (VA) at 4 p.m. on Saturday. The Methodist junior varsity provides the opposition for next Tuesday’s 7 p.m. home opener at Heins Gymnasium located in the Dempsey Student Center. Coach Mike Apple begins his fifth season as coach of the Flyers (101-31) with only three holdovers from last year’s 27-8 squad that finished sixth at the NJCAA Division III National Championship tournament in New York. Before practice on Monday he talked about some of the things he has learned about his guard-oriented squad from preseason scrimmages.
