Lumbee Tribe Votes Money to Fort Fisher State Historic Site

From the February 21, 2019, Robesonian  "Tribe votes to live-stream meetings" by Nancy McCleary.

Council members were asked to endorse the $23 million expansion of Fort Fisher State Historic Site. Lumbee Indians were forced to help build the fort, along with slaves and free blacks as well as the fort's garrison in 1862.

The fort is hoping to get an additional $7.5 million added to the work.
