I recommend looking into UNC Pembroke's YouTube channel ! It holds a lot of information on our history. We also have a museum with a lot of artifacts from our tribe: https://www.youtube.com/c/uncpembroke1887

Reminder that we are still here and always have been. We deserve federal recognition just the same as any others. And I highly encourage yall to research more into our tribe because I can only give yall so much information :].
