Waccamaw legacy : contemporary Indians fight for survival / by Lerch, Patricia Jane Barker,1947-(CARDINAL)303589;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 147-163) and index.The eastern Siouans : "We was always Indians" -- Society along the borderlands -- "From the time of the Indians until 1920" -- Tribal names as survival strategies : Croatan and Cherokee -- The wide awake Indians -- "I was an Indian, I was outstanding" -- The Waccamaw Bill and the era of termination -- The powwow paradox -- Waccamaw Siouan Indians.Patricia Lerch was hired by the Waccamaw in 1981 to perform the research needed to file for recognition under the Bureau of Indian Affairs Federal Acknowledgement Program of 1978. In 1970, the Waccamaw began to organize powwows to represent publicly their Indian heritage and survival and to spread awareness of their fight for cultural preservation and independence. Lerch found herself understanding that the powwows, in addition to affirming identity, revealed important truths about the history of the Waccamaw and the ways they communicate and coexist. Waccamaw Legacy outlines Lerch's experience as she plays a vital role in the Waccamaw Siouan's continuing fight for recognition and acceptance in contemporary society and culture.

Claiming tribal identity : the Five Tribes and the politics of federal acknowledgment / by Miller, Mark Edwin,1966-(CARDINAL)273230;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 425- 455) and index.Foreword / Chadwick Corntassel Smith -- Introduction -- Indian renaissance in the Southeast -- The genesis of a conflict : the Five Tribes and the birth of the federal acknowledgment process -- Vetted tribes : the Poarch Band of Creek Indians and the Jena Band of Choctaw Indians -- Contested tribes : the Lower Muskogee Creek Tribe and the MOWA Band of Choctaw Indians -- "Fraudulent tribes" and "Fake Cherokees" : the Five Tribes and the politics of Indian authenticity -- The numbers game : the Lumbees, the MOWA Band, and the economics of tribal recognition."Who counts as an American Indian? Which groups qualify as Indian tribes? These questions have become increasingly complex in the past several decades, and federal legislation and the rise of tribal-owned casinos have raised the stakes in the ongoing debate. In this revealing study, historian Mark Edwin Miller describes how and why dozens of previously unrecognized tribal groups in the southeastern states have sought, and sometimes won, recognition, often to the dismay of the Five Tribe--the Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks, and Seminoles." -- Publisher's website.

Who belongs? : race, resources, and tribal citizenship in the native South / by Adams, Mikaëla M.,author.(CARDINAL)338737;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 297-313) and index.Introduction : citizenship and sovereignty -- Policing belonging, protecting identity : the Pamunkey Indian Tribe of Virginia -- From fluid lists to fixed rolls : the Catawba Indian Nation of South Carolina -- Learning the language of "blood" : the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians -- Contests of sovereignty : the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians of North Carolina -- Nation building and self-determination : the Seminole Tribe of Florida and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida -- Conclusion : Who belongs?"Indians who remained in the South following removal became a marginalized and anomalous people in an emerging biracial world. Despite the economic hardships and assimilationist pressures they faced, they insisted on their political identity as citizens of tribal nations and rejected Euro-American efforts to reduce them to another racial minority, especially in the face of Jim Crow segregation. Drawing upon their cultural traditions, kinship patterns, and evolving needs to protect their land, resources, and identity from outsiders, southern Indians constructed tribally-specific citizenship criteria, in part by manipulating racial categories - like blood quantum - that were not traditional elements of indigenous cultures. Mikaëla M. Adams investigates how six southern tribes-the Pamunkey Indian Tribe of Virginia, the Catawba Indian Nation of South Carolina, the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians of North Carolina, the Seminole Tribe of Florida, and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida-decided who belonged. By focusing on the rights and resources at stake, the effects of state and federal recognition, the influence of kinship systems and racial ideologies, and the process of creating official tribal rolls, Adams reveals how Indians established legal identities." --Publisher description.
