Exploring the intricate journey of the Lumbee tribe toward achieving federal recognition, “Standing Tall: The Lumbee Tribe's Journey Towards Federal Recognition” is an enlightening and detailed account of the Lumbee history toward attempts at Federal Recognition. Engagingly written by a learned Lumbee tribal affiliate, the book chronicles the tribe's encounters and involvements during the Civil War and the subsequent struggle they had to endure. “Standing Tall” delves into the impressive chronicle of Henry Berry Lowery and the Lowery Gang, their deeds during the war era, and the impact of the Civil War aftermath and the Jim Crow era on the Lumbee tribe. Retracing the tribe's relentless steps towards gaining acknowledgment and recognition from the U.S. government, underscores their resilience in the face of adversity.

The book also provides a PESTLE analysis of the Lumbee tribe from various viewpoints, including, political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental perspectives. These comprehensive evaluations grant the readers profound insight into the tribe's transactions with the U.S. government, their economic growth, financial challenges, evolving social structure, the influence of technology on their tribal life, their legal battles, and their relationship with the environment. 'Standing Tall' further paints a comparative picture of the Lumbee tribe with the Cherokee nation, offering a nuanced narrative of their journeys towards acknowledgment. The post-Civil War progress, the exemplification of native innovation, and the resilience of the Lumbee tribe are portrayed beautifully as they continue their struggle for recognition.

In the end, the book serves as an inspiring call to action, emphasizing unity and collective struggle for the realization of a federally recognized Lumbee tribe. As it closes on an optimistic note, 'Standing Tall' fosters hope for an auspicious future for the Lumbee tribe, freed from the constraints of the conventions of European immigrants and standing proudly as a distinct and acknowledged Native American tribe.
