CD 8 27 09 interview 1

Staff interviews Trudy Locklear,Director of Cumberland County Indian Education, and Darlene Holmes Ransom "Dream Catcher Project" Director & Lumbee Supreme Court Justice. Tribal Chairman Jimmy Goins and staff from the Lumbee Tribe traveled to Camp Rockfish on Tuesday, August 11, 2009 to support the Cumberland County Schools Department of Indian Education in the Dream Catcher Project. The office of Indian Education funded a week long day camp, August 11th-14th, through the Dream Catcher project; a grant sought after for the past four years. The Coordinator of Indian Education, Trudy Locklear, along with Dream Catcher Project Coordinator, Darlene Ransom, was presented with the proposal four years ago by non-Indian grant writers. They knew there was Indian money to be had but they didnt have any stories of our culture to tell, so they asked Trudy and me for our stories so our voices could be heard, stated Ransom. The program accepted 40 rising sophomores from Cape Fear, Douglas Byrd, Grays Creek, Jack Britt and South View High Schools.
