Lumbee Tribe Brings Native American Heritage to Life at Shughart Elementary

In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, Shughart Elementary had the honor of welcoming members of the Lumbee Tribe for a special performance. This event provided our students with a unique opportunity to learn about Native American traditions firsthand.

The presenters from the Lumbee Tribe shared insights into their culture, starting with an explanation of the regalia they wear. They described the significance of each piece, helping students understand the deep cultural meanings behind their traditional attire.

The highlight of the visit was a captivating dance performance, accompanied by authentic Native American music. To make the experience even more memorable, the presentation concluded with a group dance that included some of our students. 

This event was a wonderful way for our students to celebrate Native American Heritage Month and gain a greater understanding of the diverse cultures that enrich our community. We are grateful to the Lumbee Tribe for sharing their traditions with us and look forward to more cultural exchanges in the future.
