We always think every election year has been the most bitter, but it’s possible this year has been one of, if not the, worst. When the ballots are counted tomorrow – barring lawsuits and protests and for all we know, alien intervention – one thing won’t have changed: we’ll all still be neighbors. Emotions and passion are to be expected in any election; the choices are always historic. But at the end of it all, we will still be members of a great nation, and we will all still have a responsibility to preserve, protect and promote that nation.

Others are seeing the damage and debris as an opportunity, a fresh start. Still others are stepping up to the plate in a time of need, whether they are helping on the individual level or on a larger scale. That’s what we do, as Americans – even when we vehemently disagree with someone else’s beliefs, even if they don’t appreci- ate it, we step up to help our neighbors. Perhaps Matthew has provided the impetus to make this standard again.

The storm’s impact on all Native American communities in the state was visible, as many members of the Lumbee tribe from Robeson County were unable to attend, due to the ongo- ing recovery from flooding in that area. Coharie tribal members from Sampson County spoke of long detours due to washed-out roads, and Haliwa-Saponi members added hours to their journey from the piedmont for the same reason. The Waccamaw Siouan call Buckhead home, with a special emphasis on Lake Waccamaw and its environs. The tribe gets its nickname, People of the Falling Star, from a traditional legend about the creation of the bay lake. This year’s Pow-Wow drew a big crowd com- prised of members of all races to celebrate the American Indian culture through music, dance, A big part of the Waccamaw and storytelling, as well as traditional crafts and Siouan Pow-Wow is the wide skills.
