they need gambling? Between the Great White Father, McIntyre and HUD wampum and state treaty wampum, the Lumbee Tribal council is well funded to provide for its own.

Now Lumberton would like to see gambling. That's another issue. There's a whole corridor of motels and hotels lining I-95 that were hoping the Lumbees would be recognized; bring a casino to the area; and then watch the entire area prosper.

I guess we'll see what the treaty holds some moons down the trail.
