MAY 3, 2001 Construction work at a school in Renton has been halted this week because a former archaeologist who happened to walk by the site noticed it was a Duwamish dumping ground. The midden site is located near a known Indian village, said Michael Shong. He filed a statement with the city to get the work to stop. The Duwamish Tribe, whose federal recognition is on hold at the Department of Interior, wants to be notified of work at the site. Chairwoman Cecile Hansen said the tribe is still angry because an apartment development was built over a Duwamish village in the early 1980s. Get the Story:
