The Museum of the Southeast American Indian is a multi-faceted museum and resource for scholarly research and community outreach. The Museum contains exhibits of authentic Indian artifacts, arts and crafts from Indian communities all over the Americas, and especially from the American Southeast.

This site, which has been on the web since 2002, began as a supplement to The Lumbee Indians: An Annotated Bibliography, with Chronology and Index, a book-format bibliography published by McFarland & Co., Inc., Jefferson, NC in 1994. Its primary function is to provide references, usually with annotations, to sources about the Lumbee Indians. The emphasis is on published sources; and, especially in recent years, coverage is more comprehensive for scholarly sources than for non-scholarly and news sources.
