This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmelpr UN-NEIGHBORLY CONDUCT: WHY CAN'T VIRGiNIA BEACH AND NORTH CAROLINA BE FRIENDS? PAUL SCHMIDT* In 1997, the federal court system granted final approval for the Lake Gaston Pipeline, thereby paving the way for Virginia Beach, Virginia, to begin taking water from Lake Gaston for use in Southside Hampton Roads.' Virginia Beach is located in the extreme southeastern comer of Virginia, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Chesapeake Bay. Lake Gaston sits astride the North Carolina-Virginia State Line, some one hundred miles inland. This court decision was the culmination of a long and drawn-out battle that had been raging since 1983, and will not likely conclude until long after the turn of the millenium. Controversy always seems to surround inter-basin transfers of water, even in the water-rich East, and water rights were at the core of this particularly divisive battle.3 Although Virginia Beach is located in the Elizabeth River Basin, the Lake Gaston pipeline draws water from the Roanoke River Basin, thus reducing the supply of water available for the people living along the banks of the Roanoke River.

  • Native Pathways to Health Community Report
    Native Pathways to Health Community Report November 2020 I. NPTH Purpose, Methods overview The Native Pathways to Health (NPTH) project builds upon existing community- academic partnerships with NC’s AI communities and the University of NC American Indian Center, and seeks to leverage community’s unique strengths to better understand and address tribal health priorities. The tribal communities that partnered (9) in the Native Pathways to Health Project included: Coharie Tribe, Haliwa-Saponi Tribe, Lumbee Tribe of NC, Meherrin Tribe, Metrolina Native American Society, Occaneechi Band of Saponi Nation, Triangle Native American Society, Sappony Tribe, and Waccamaw-Siouan Tribe. In Year 1, the NPTH research team, which includes well-respected members of NC’s AI tribes, partnered with adults and youth from NC tribes and urban Indian organizations to form a Tribal Health Ambassador Program. Tribal Health Ambassadors (THAs) collaborated with the research team to assess health in their communities: Adult THAs led talking circles (a sacred approach for engaging in discussion). Talking Circles are a traditional way for AI people to solve problems by effectively removing barriers which allows them to express themselves with complete freedom in a sacred space. Normally the circle is blessed by an Elder. Important to remember what is said in the circle stays within the circle but an exception will be made for this project so we can help tell the stories of the needs within the communities and also use this data to create a health assessment tailored to each tribal community. Youth THAs designed projects following a Youth Participatory Action Research approach.

INTRODUCI'ION The negotiated settlement in a then 12-year interstate water dispute between North Carolina and Virginia Beach fizzled at midnight June 30, 1995 when unresolved issues extended past the deadline. This long-run­ ning dispute bears similarities to other interstate and intrastate water disputes. However, it does not yet rival the continuing Arizona-California dispute over the division of Colorado River water, nor does it reveal the extensive litigation to win approval for building the Central Arizona Project.2 Nevertheless, this dispute on the opposite end of the country began when Virginia Beach recognized that its water resources would not meet the demands caused by the growth in population and industry.

  • (RE)CONSTRUCTING and (RE)PRESENTING HERITAGE: EDUCATION and REPRESENTATION in an AMERICAN INDIAN HOMELAND PRESERVATION PROJECT B
    (RE)CONSTRUCTING AND (RE)PRESENTING HERITAGE: EDUCATION AND REPRESENTATION IN AN AMERICAN INDIAN HOMELAND PRESERVATION PROJECT by LESLEY MARIE GRAYBEAL (Under the Direction of Diane Brook Napier) ABSTRACT Experiences of the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation (Occaneechi) in constructing a heritage revitalization initiative known as the Homeland Preservation Project and organizing related educational programming were analyzed through an ethnographic case study. The purpose of the study was to understand the importance of the heritage museum as a site for organizing educational initiatives. Scholarship in museum studies treats heritage museums as sites for the construction of identity through the portrayal of culture and history, but focuses largely on display rhetoric and visitor interpretations. I used ethnographic methods to develop a case as an example of a local tribal museum and its significance, as explained by those involved in organizing and executing related educational initiatives. Having achieved state recognition only in the past decade, the Occaneechi are in the midst of a concerted effort to educate tribal members and descendents, other area tribes, and non-Indigenous community members about their distinct heritage and present-day existence. The Homeland Preservation Project plays a significant role for tribal members in addressing issues of identity, creating a dynamic understanding of culture in transition, recovering Indigenous Knowledge, confronting stereotypes about American Indian people, organizing new types of participation
