Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Croatan Indians of Sampson County, North Carolina: Their Origin and Racial Status; A Plea for Separate Schools To the Honorable Board of Education of Sampson County, North Carolina: The undersigned, your petitioners, a part of the Croatan Indians living in the County of Sampson, State aforesaid, havmg their residence here for more than two hundred years, as citizens and tax payers of the County and State, peacefully sharing all the burdens of our government, and desiring to share in all the benefits incident thereto, respectfully petition your Honorable Board for such recognition and aid in the education of their children as you may see fit to extend to them, the amount appropriated to be used for the sole and exclusive purpose of assisting your petitioners to educate their children and fit them for the duties of citizenship. Your petitioners would show that there are, according to the bulletin of the thirteenth census of 1910, two hundred and thirteen Indians in Sampson County. And, that there are of legal school age, for whom there now no separate school provisions, over one hundred Indian school children. That these children are not permitted to attend, and have no desire to attend, the white schools, and in no other section of the State are they required to attend the colored schools.
