Established by the Lumbee Publishing Company in 1973, The Carolina Indian Voice was a weekly newspaper published in Pembroke, North Carolina. Referring to itself as a newspaper "for all Indians and their friends everywhere", readership was primarily contained within the Indigenous community of Robeson County. Bruce Barton was the founder and remained editor for much of the paper's run; Barton was the son of Lew, who once edited prominent local newspaper, The Pembroke Progress. Ostensibly a "small town weekly", The Voice provided coverage of social events and local politics alongside state-wide and national news on Indigenous issues. Barton would also provide a weekly column, "As I See It", which aired his honest and frank opinions. He was succeeded as editor by his sister, Connee Brayboy, in 1996; she continued to edit The Voice until it ceased publication in 2005.
Includes a special 10th Anniversary edition supplement, with selected highlights.
