I am as much Native as I am Black. Both Grandmothers were half Cherokee and Father’s father was Black and Coharie. I am dark after my Mother’s Dad who was straight African. With all those old stories and private schools education?
NEVER heard this.

Redistricting splits up North Carolina's tribal service areas. It's especially bad for Lumbee and Coharie - each tribe's service area is split into 3 districts. Nationally, most Indigenous people live in cities. But NC flips that pattern, with most living in rural tribal service areas. #ncpol

New paper! 📢 Our team at @unchpdp.bsky.social published research on our participatory grantmaking pilot with our community partners.

We tested "network voting" (developed by U of MN colleagues for SNAP-Ed) to let grantees make funding decisions, instead of funders.

This weekend, we were proud to be at the 55th Annual Coharie Indian Cultural Pow Wow in Sampson County, NC.

We took our message to working people: no one working full-time should be taxed into poverty. That’s why we’re demanding a working-class tax cut paid for by millionaires like our members.

On behalf of both my Grandparents of Native decent for Cherokee Nation and The Coharie ? Fall and decay you bigot pig.

diverting attention from your pedophile scandal by reminding people you’re a racist, like a boss
the giant ball of bronzed dryer lint currently in the oval office blurped: The Washington "Whatever's" should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this. Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past. Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!

Amid the chaos, people still do amazing work. Watch a segment on the Great Coharie River Initiative & Coharie Tribe airing soon on State of Change (PBS North Carolina). Beloved river, powerful story, beautiful production. Pairs well with Ch. 7 of my book, #OnTheSwamp
