The remains of a small child are among the three tribal ancestors who have been found at a state construction site in Washington.
The child, an adult male and an adult female are believed to be at least 150 years old. They are believed to have been members of the Stillaguamish Tribe.
The state is working with the tribe on the handling of the remains. Work at the $1 million Highway 530 road project is on for now.
