True Native Lumbee/Cheraw - you are right and Beth is uncultured and misinformed, I think. In my feature that I've written, I spoke of how not all Natives look alike. The Mi'qMak of the Atlantic north west do not look like the Chumash of California. The Lummi of Washington do not look like the Lumbee of NC. EVEN among the Navajo they are sensitive about being misidentified as Hopi. I have a Chippewa friend who was a teacher on the Navajo rez for 20 years and I asked her about the Robertson clan and she told me she did not recognize that Irish surname as a true Navajo name.
