Lumbee History & Carolina Native Tradition

Celebrate Native American Heritage Month with lessons that bring Lumbee history, family, and community into the classroom! 📚

As a Lumbee educator, I created this 20-page educational packet for grades 3–5 to help children explore:

✨ The Lumbee journey to federal recognition

✨ Native traditions of the Carolinas, powwows, and regalia

✨ Lumbee family bonds, kinship, fish fries, family reunions, and Lumbee Homecoming

Students will read, answer questions, write about their own family celebrations, and complete a take-home paper-doll regalia study project.

Includes student worksheets, project directions, teacher answer keys, and sources. The 20-page total includes the cover and teacher materials.

A meaningful addition to November lessons, North Carolina history, social studies, or homeschool learning throughout the year.
