Abstract:
The Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation, an Indian community living in Alamance County, has received official state recognition as a tribe living in North Carolina. The Occaneechi Band had sought recognition for seventeen years. To achieve recognition, a tribe must meet five of eight criteria, including tracing lineage in North Carolina back at least 200 years, as specified by the North Carolina Commission on Indians Affairs.
