Loretta Oxendine (Lumbee), Pembroke, North Carolina
Loretta wove her first longleaf pine needle basket when she was eight years old after watching her older sister and mother. She has taught her art to others through her involvement in the Indian Education Program, as well as in public schools where she was an elementary school teacher for many years. One of her pieces, a Lumbee traditional sewing basket, is in the National Museum of the American Indian.
