Section 03
The Lumbee Tribal Council voted 17-2 on April 16, 2026 to advance a constitutional amendment to a vote on June 23. Here is what it would actually do — and why we are asking tribal members to vote NO.
Lumbees United for Accountability is not an anti-gaming coalition. Our members hold a range of views on gaming. What unites us is this: the Lumbee people should decide — and if gaming eventually passes, revenues must be directed to tribal services for members — healthcare, education, housing, infrastructure and elder care — not to outsiders, insiders or Wyoming shell companies. One man should not negotiate the contracts, nominate the gaming board and oversight board members, confirmed by a council that voted 17-2 in his favor. That is not oversight. That is concentration of power. Vote NO. Demand Better!! The Lumbee people deserve a referendum or better amendment.
