Sauk-Suiattle: Discrimination suit filed against tribe - One hundred and fifty years ago, the Sauk Suiattle tribe lost their land, their livelihood. But today they stand to lose much more, their legacy, because of a lawsuit that effectively calls the tribe racist. "It just felt like enough is enough,” said Judy Pendergrass, who is among eight people now suing the tribe. All of them held jobs with Sauk Suiattle. And all of them were fired, they say, because they are white.

Sauk-Suiattle: Tribe looks at effects of sediment on spawning habitat - The Sauk-Suiattle Tribe is working with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to study sediment on the Sauk, Suiattle and White Chuck rivers.
