BIO

Dr. David B. Oxendine is a Lumbee Indian and a native of Pembroke, N.C. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Theater from Catawba College, a Master's degree in Counselor Education and a Doctorate in Psychology both from North Carolina State University. Currently, he is an Associate Professor, Chair of the Department of Professional Pedagogy and Research in the School of Education at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.

Dr. Oxendine, during the summer months was Artistic Director of the outdoor drama Strike at the Wind! becoming the first American Indian to direct the show for 15 years. In 1985, public television's American Playhouse in New York contacted Dr. Oxendine for the television series ROANOAK, and he cast forty local Lumbee tribal members as extras and in featured roles. Afterwards, he joined the Screen Actors Guild and moved to New York to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (AADA).

Upon Graduation from AADA, David appeared in films and television shows such as Big, Shakedown, Crossing Delancy, Arthur II, Working Girl, Slaves of New York, The Equalizer, Kojak, and New York Stories among others.

Dr. Oxenine has completed a screenplay based on the book by William McKee Evans entitled To Die Game, which currently is under consideration for production by several producers. One of Dr. Oxendine's many hobbies includes photography, which allows another form of creative expression. The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. has published several of his photos of Lumbee life to be included in the Smithsonian's Handbook of North American Indians. Last year, he was contacted by Harcourt Books, of Time-Life Books, to publish several photos for an entire article on the Lumbee Indians.

Evaluations of an ethin validation procedure" was published in the July 2007 edition of the Journal of Applied Social Psychology. In November, Dr. Oxendine published a book entitled "Preceived Fairness of an Ethnic Validation Procedure: Implications for Lumbee Federal Recognition" by VDM, an international publisher from Germany.
