Reba, that is so fascinating that you were born on the Cherokee reservation in NC!! I love the Native American history that this region has, and I'm proud to know a couple of Cherokee/Creek native Americans...don't know them terribly well, but I do consider them friendly acquaintances, and very special people.

A Native american friend of mine up north has told me much the same about alcohol and its affects on the native American population. She currently counsels Native American (and other) youth on the issues of alcohol and drug addiction.

I've never heard of the Lumbie Indians...I'll have to look them up! I do know a very little about the Cherokees and Creek Indians that lived here, but I obviously have some more reading to do!

Thanks for sharing your information and background!!
