Herald: Tribes pursue rights in court

The Everett Herald covered a hearing yesterday in the culvert case:

A federal district court judge in Seattle gave 21 American Indian tribes one week to reconsider a lawsuit that could give tribes more power in managing the state’s environment.

In a packed courtroom Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Ricardo Martinez listened for more than an hour as tribal and state attorneys argued over whether the case should be heard.
