Lumbee

Introduced in: Native Lights

Appearance
Lumbee is a black steed with red highlights in his hair. He wears a yellow blanket with red trim.

Tribe
The tribe this steed is based on are located in Robeson County, North Carolina. Also known as the Croatan Indians, it is speculated that they absorbed the white settlers of the Roanoke Colony, who all mysteriously vanished. Lumbees share cultural traits with the Cherokee. Because they inhabited lands that were not highly desired by European settlers, avoided forced relocation in the 1830s. Today the Lumbee have a vibrant, active and close-knit community, with headquarters in Robeson County, North Carolina, though they also have concentrations of tribal members in five states.
