Initial Observations on Inquiry Question:
I am currently __#|reading__ a book called //The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian//, by Sherman Alexie, and it has awakened a lot of my curiosity about the survival of native __#|american__ culture in NC today. I think my question will be "On reservations in NC, How are native americans being educated about their culture's history? Are these methods supporting the growth of this culture ?" I hope to use personal interviews. I happen to know a wonderful man who is a member of the Lumbee.

Revised Specific Inquiry Question: What does the United States Government do, in cooperation with the government of the Eastern Band of Cherokee, to assist the growth of Cherokee culture?
