NC’s Lumbee Tribe rejects casino proposal, at least for now
The Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina rejected constitutional amendments that would have allowed the tribe to build a casino, with 62% of nearly 9,000 voters opposing the changes. Critics argued the amendments would concentrate power in tribal leadership, while supporters cited economic benefits and competition with nearby South Carolina casinos.
