In 1975, Earl Brooks (Lumbee) purchased a storefront building at 207 S. Broadway[1] and opened Hokahey Indian Trading Post with his friend, Solomon Maynor (Coharie). The store primarily sold silver and turquoise Indian jewelry purchased in New Mexico. Brooks sold the property in 1977 [2] and it is part of El Salvador Restaurant today.
