Lumbee Tribe Showcase returns to Givens Arts Center

Students will explore Lumbee history and culture through music, dance, storytelling, and visual art on Nov. 19, when the Lumbee Tribe Showcase returns this fall semester to Givens Performing Arts Center at 359 Prospect Rd. on the University of North Carolina at Pembroke campus. Organized by the arts center and the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, the program will offer school performances at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Admission is free, but reservations are required. Registration opened Sept. 8, according to event information provided by organizers. The showcase comes less than a year after the tribe received full federal recognition Dec. 18, 2025, becoming the 575th federally recognized tribe in the United States. The milestone followed generations of advocacy and brought renewed attention to the Lumbee people and their place in North Carolina history.
