The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe of Washington is auctioning off some items from its history.

The tribe is preparing for the removal of the Elwha River Dam. Items from the dam's history will be auctioned at a gala fundraiser on September 16.

“I think these are going to be sought-after items.” LaTrisha Suggs, the tribe's assistant Elwha River restoration director, told The Peninsula Daily News.

The money from the auction and the fundraiser will be used for scholarship and youth programs.
