Lumbees have ZERO native american DNA! NONE! They are escaped slave octaroons.

Dna results show almost all Lumbee examined as R1(european) or (african) haplo type which neither is Indigenous Native american dna types. so why are the Lumbee claiming Indian heritage?!!?!

I really do not have a horse in this race. I am 100 percent European. I grew up next to one of the largest Indiginous reservation in North America and attended school with Algonquins. There were inevitably some metis ( french/indian mixed people) and there were also some full blooded indians. They were discerning of native blood and native traits with everyone wanting a metis card for the benfits. I picked up somewhat on that discernment. I also worked among the Lumbees for a period of 3 years. They came in all collors, a mismash of off white to almost black. Lumberton the largest city in Robeson county like the county is listed as 1/3 white, 1/3 black, and 1/3 lumbee indian. I have seen whites and blacks claim to be lumbee and indian looking metis people claim to be white. What I find amusing is all three links you posted refute your assertation. Not claiming you are wrong, but I am saying there is indiginous blood mixed in SOME of the people who claim to be Lumbee.
