The Lumbee tribe has mixed origins. Coastal North Carolina was originally the home of Algonquian Indian bands (Pamlico, Hatteras, or Croatan,) Siouan Indian bands (Cheraw and Catawba,) and Tuscarora groups. But many Indians of the east coast died from smallpox and other European diseases after colonists first arrived.
They are related to the Cherokee who were forcibly relocated there in the 1830s under the Indian Removal Act. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is on the Qualla Boundary in western North Carolina, and are descendants of those who resisted or avoided relocation.he Cherokee were one of the first, if not the first, major non-European ethnic group to become U.S. citizens. Article 8 in the 1817 treaty with the Cherokee stated Cherokees may wish to become citizens of the United States.
