πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

A judge issued a preliminary injunction on July 15 requiring a telecom company to provide advance notice to the Lummi Nation if construction might disturb burial grounds in Point Roberts, Washington, according to a court document. The ruling comes amid a lawsuit over potential disturbance of sacred sites during infrastructure work.

The injunction ensures Lummi Nation representatives will be informed before any work proceeds that could impact burial grounds, as part of ongoing legal efforts to protect cultural heritage. The case involves a telecom company planning work in Point Roberts, where burial grounds are located near Maple Beach.
