Revisiting the Reservation: The Lumbee Indian Community of East Baltimore

Following WWII, thousands of Lumbee Indians moved from their tribal homeland in rural North Carolina to Baltimore City, seeking work and a better quality of life. They settled in Upper Fells Point and Washington Hill. They called it their “reservation.” They established churches, a community center, restaurants, stores, and more. Today, only two active American Indian community-owned sites remain. Knowledge of these historic sites and their significance to Baltimore’s Lumbee people now exists primarily in the memories of the elders. Through ethnography and archival research, and in collaboration with the elders, Ashley Minner is mapping East Baltimore’s “reservation” and developing a walking tour.
