The Quinault Indian Nation and Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe are two of the five Washington tribes who will be getting a total of $1 million in federal grant money to help improve sex offender monitoring on tribal lands.

 

U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan says the grants will help the tribes create or enhance sex offender registration and notification programs.

 

The money is going to the Quinault Indian Nation, the Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of Chehalis, the Lummi Nation, and the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe.
