This American Legion Post #36 Breakfast Buffet has been a tradition spanning many years now. Aside from a few minor unforeseen and unavoidable changes, most everything else remains the same. All who enter the Legion Hall doors on a Breakfast Buffet Sunday, will get a great meal for a fair price/donation, get to see old friends and/or family, or meet someone interesting for the first time. The menu items have satisfied many folks over the years, and I have no doubt that this year will be no different. So come and enjoy the Legion Buffet Breakfast this season, enjoy the food, enjoy the camaraderie, and learn how you (Yes, You) can play a key role in this year's breakfast season - or next year's season. There are a number of very important people who make these breakfasts a success each year, if you have any interest in becoming a volunteer or member of the breakfast crew - ask for the least important person in the mix (Christopher) when you arrive for breakfast. These breakfast buffets take place every other Sunday starting on April 2, 2025.

Free and open to the public. There will be a reception at 5 P.M. with good food and drinks. The lecture will begin at 6 P.M. All are welcome.

Topic
What happens when rules around Native identity — many of which were created by a US government intent on wiping out Native people altogether — inhibit Native people from creating successful, sustainable communities? In this lecture, Carrie Lowry Schuettpelz offers a brief history of Native tribal enrollment and identity, and how that history is still shaping Native America today.

Speaker Biography
Carrie Lowry Schuettpelz is an enrolled member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. She spent seven years working in the Obama Administration on issues of homelessness and Native policy. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Master in Public Policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. She serves as an associate professor of public policy and directs the Native Policy Lab at the University of Iowa. Her lecture at UNE will be based on her first book, The Indian Card: Who Gets to Be Native in America.
