The Suquamish Tribe of Washington accepted the return of a one-acre state park that was home to all the ancestors of the tribe.
The tribe held a ceremony yesterday to accept title to Old Man House State Park.
Tribal members paddled canoes to the site, home to a major tribal village where Chief Sealth, the namesake of Seattle, once lived.
The land will continue to be managed as a state park but under tribal control.
