4.0 out of 5 stars Great history of a little-known Native American tribe, August 3, 2000
My father is a Lumbee who was born and raised in Pembroke, North Carolina. Unfortunately, in California, it's next to impossible to find out information on the Lumbee Indians in any general text on Native Americans. This book, along with "To Die Game" (which I first read as a teenager) are the two best resources on Lumbee history I have run across.Like many people out there, I've always wanted to know something about my ancestors, and Mr. Dial seems to know just about everything. I've never met him but he is spoken very highly about by my relatives, and upon reading "The Only Land I Know" I can see why!

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful, March 5, 2007
My father also is a Lumbee from Pembroke NC. Information about our tribe is very hard to find, yet this book helps answer many questions. Thankfully my father lets me know who is who which is helpful, since I have never lived in Pembroke. I highly recommend this book to anyone, Indian or not who would love to learn more about a beautiful native culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very helpful overview of lumbee history, August 7, 2011
As a person whose parents are from a Cheraw tribal community, this book helped to inspire me to research and write my own book on my communities history, "The Indians of North Florida". The simple and easy to read layout is great and should be on the shelf of everyone interested in SE Indian history and ethnography.
