subject to the general rates of duty imposed

President determines that such donations (A) 

would seriously impair his ability to deal 

with any national emergency declared under 

section 1701 of title 19 of the U.S. Code, (B) 

are in response to coercion against the 

proposed recipient or donor, or (C) would 

endanger Armed Forces of the United States

Federal Recognition of the Lumbee Tribe of 

North Carolina 

January 23, 2025 

Memorandum for the Secretary of the Interior 

Subject: Federal Recognition of the Lumbee 

Tribe of North Carolina 

Section 1. Purpose and Policy. The Lumbee 

Tribe of North Carolina, known as the People 

of the Dark Water, have a long and storied 

history. The tribe’s members were 

descendants of several tribal nations from the 

Algonquian, Iroquoian, and Siouan language 

families, including the Hatteras, the 

Tuscarora, and the Cheraw. The waters of the 

Lumbee River and lands that surround it 

have protected and provided for the Lumbee 

people for centuries despite war, disease, and 

many other perils.

In 1885, the State of North Carolina 

recognized the Lumbee people as an Indian 

tribe. 1885 N.C. Sess. Laws 92. In 1956, 

President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the 

Lumbee Act (Pub. L. 84–570, 70 Stat. 254), 

which recognized the Lumbee as the Lumbee 

Indians of North Carolina but denied the 

Lumbee Indians the Federal benefits 

associated with such recognition. Today, 

according to the State of North Carolina, the 

Lumbee Tribe consists of more than 55,000 

members, making it the largest tribe east of 

the Mississippi River and the ninth-largest 

tribe in the Nation. 

In 2024, the United States House of 

Representatives passed, by a vote of 311–96, 

the Lumbee Fairness Act (H.R. 1101), which 

would grant to the Lumbee Tribe full Federal 

recognition, but this legislation was not 

considered by the United States Senate 

before the end of the 118th Congress. Similar 

legislation has passed the House of 

Representatives several times. 

Considering the Lumbee Tribe’s historical 

and modern significance, it is the policy of 

the United States to support the full Federal 

recognition, including the authority to 

receive full Federal benefits, of the Lumbee 

Tribe of North Carolina. 

Sec. 2. Directive for Recognition Plan. (a) 

Within 90 days of the date of this 

memorandum, the Secretary of the Interior 

shall review all applicable authorities 

regarding the recognition or 

acknowledgement of Indian tribes and, in 

consultation with the leadership of the 

Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, shall submit 

to the President a plan to assist the Lumbee 

Tribe in obtaining full Federal recognition 

through legislation or other available 

mechanisms, including the right to receive 

full Federal benefits. 

(b) The plan shall include consideration 

and analysis of each potential legal pathway 

to effectuate the full Federal recognition of 

the Lumbee Tribe, including through an act 

of Congress, judicial action, or the 

Procedures for Federal Acknowledgement of 

Indian Tribes set forth in 25 CFR part 83. 

(c) The Secretary of the Interior is 

authorized and directed to publish this 

memorandum in the Federal Register.
