Pee Dee Indian Tribe owns about three acres of land off Highway #38 going
towards Hamlet, NC. We are making plans to build a Tribal Administration Office and Tribal Assembly area. There will
be a 40'x 60' foot building that will provide the space that is needed for the tribe to hold tribal meetings and
operate from. This land has real potential for future development by the tribe. We Thank Tribal Council Member Pete
Parr for the donation of this land to the Tribe.
We have a tribal member that has pledged almost all of the building materials
that we will need to build our Center. We will still have a lot of other expenses related to getting the center completed.
All donations will be appreciated to help with our Tribal Center. The Pee Dee Indians need a place that is their own. When
the center is finished the State of South Carolina will put us a Road side sign out on highway 38 that will read
"Pee Dee Indian Tribal Grounds" along with an arrow pointing to our land. This will bring more awareness of our tribe
to people that travel highway 38.
The distance from McColl to the land is about fifteen miles, but
it is all we have and we need to make use of the land. Members without transportation will be provided with
a way to make the tribal meetings. There is still a lot of land to be cleared before we can build an Arena for our Pow Wows
that will be held on our own land.
If anyone wishes to visit your land, then go up highway 38 towards Hamlet,
NC. After you cross Highway 79 look for Longer Sand Road on your right. Turn right and drive straight ahead, you will see
the # 134 (this # is not up at this posting, but will be up in a few days) Walk over the land and make a prayer to the Great
Creator and ask him to help us get a place we can call own.
The first phase of development is to get a concrete pad put down, this
has a price tag of about thirty seven hundred dollars ( 3,700 ) As Chief of the tribe I am pledging one thousand dollars to
the concrete pad. That leaves only two Thousand seven hundred dollars ( 2,700 ) I am asking you the tribal members that want
this Pee Dee Indian Tribal Administration center to be built, please raise the balance that is needed. It is Tax Return time,
so a couple hundred bucks can be donated to the tribe and make this dream come true.
We have a building committee set up so anyone who would like to donate their
time or their specialities or materials or money, please contact:

ANY AND ALL HELP WITH THIS PROJECT IS APPRECIATED.
