  • Teen Miss Lumbee, Kerigahn Jacobs, poses for a portrait on July 7, 2018 in Pembroke, NC, USA.The Lumbee tribe of eastern North Carolina is comprised of a people who’s native identity—however culturally rich—has been fought over for more than a century by a federal government that doesn’t see them fitting neatly into any racial category. Though they have been officially recognized by the state since 1885, and were technically recognized as Native Americans federally by The Lumbee Act of 1956, the same act precludes them from receiving the benefits afforded other tribes. A new legal challenge may change that.

  • NAT *** Stonington, ME - Born into a long line of fishermen, Josh Gove, 16, already owns a 30 ft. lobster boat, the Mighty Dollar. The boat was restored with the help of his father, Vance Gove, Jr. With roughly 350 lobster boats and a population of only 1,200, Stonington is the largest lobster port in the state of Maine. Though other industries have brought families to the area, most have faded from prominence. The lobster has taken a 90% share of eastern Maine\'s fishing economy since the collapse of ground fish in the 1990\'s. Regulations since that downturn may be responsible for a boom in the lobster stock. Lobster fishing has come to define Stonington and many other coastal communities in Maine, where multi-generational family operations thrive. (Travis Dove for VQR)
