The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe of Washington will break ground next month on a cultural center at the site of an ancestral village.
The center will feature some of the artifacts that were discovered at the Tse-whit-zen Village. It will also promote tribal culture and house some tribal programs.
"We also are really trying to work with our young ones so they understand and know our heritage," Chairwoman Frances Charles told The Peninsula Daily News.
The state halted work on an $88 million bridge project after thousands of ancestors and artifacts were found at the site.
