Thought folks here might be interested in this story we ran last week. Some of our tribes here in South Carolina finally got some recognition after a long time trying:
I was especially glad to read about the Waccamaws. Buster Hatcher (pictured) is a good man. I worked with him a lot when I wrote for a paper on the coast and still treasure a letter he sent me after I covered one of the Waccamaw pow wows in the early 90s. It was easily the nicest letter I've ever received from a reader. I know the Waccamaw folks have done a lot of work and I'm sure the others mentioned have as well.
