The Lumbee Fairness Act is a federal bill aimed at granting full federal recognition to the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. This recognition would provide the tribe with access to federal benefits and services available to recognized tribes, such as funding for healthcare, education, and economic development programs. The bill seeks to rectify the long-standing lack of federal recognition for the Lumbee Tribe, which has hindered their ability to fully exercise their sovereignty and access necessary resources. If passed, the Lumbee Fairness Act would have a significant impact on the tribe's self-governance and overall well-being.
