Johnson, Guy B. “What’s In a Name: The Case of the Lumbee Indians.” Paper delivered at the Annual Meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society, Athens, GA. 9 April 1970. 8 p. [Included in entry 468.]
Annotation:
Among mixed-race racial enclaves in the eastern U.S., Lumbees have been “the most conspicuously successful instance” of achieving a good name. Reviews the motivations behind various names, and results of the changes. The Lumbees’ “power and progress contributed to the acquisition of a ‘good name’ at last; the name, in turn, has elevated their progress and sense of identity.”
