american idol native style

This performance is of a Native American Indian playing a song he wrote about his grandfather titled "Lumbee Indian". This is an inspiring true story of a full blooded Lumbee Indian that was hand selected by delegates from Washington DC along with several others from Pembroke North Carolina in the early 1900's.The Native Americans were bused to Washington DC and underwent a battery of tests to determine if they were really native American.After several facial measurements, and speech patterns it was determined that my grand father was in fact a true native American but would not be entitled to any benefits! To find out more about the struggles and recognition of the Lumbee people go to http://www.lumbeetribe.com/ or email me at marsmud360@aim.com
