“As part of the Southeast American Indian Studies Program at UNC Pembroke, The Museum of the Southeast American Indian maximizes the capacity of the University to address the complex historical, cultural and contemporary issues facing American Indian communities in North Carolina and the American Southeast. The Museum’s cross-disciplinary collaborations greatly enhance the University’s programs of research, service, outreach and instruction.
The Museum of the Southeast American Indian is a multi-faceted museum and resource for scholarly research and community outreach. While the Museum contains exhibits of authentic Indian artifacts, arts and crafts from Indian communities all over the Americas, our primary focus is on tribes from the American Southeast. Many items come from North Carolina Native communities, with special emphasis on Robeson County Indian people. Specific focus is placed on the largest North Carolina tribe, the Lumbee, but our outreach activities have extended into Virginia and South Carolina with plans for further outreach throughout the Southeast.” Text courtesy of the Museum of the Southeast American Indian. www.uncp.edu.
