The Treaty of 1855 created the Yakama Nation reservation as we know it today . In the decades after, the Yakama, Washington state, and the United States were trying to figure out their new relationship — one fraught with disagreements, court battles, and even war . At the turn of the century, Louis Mann was in the middle of it all, working as an interpreter for the tribe. Now, audio recordings of Mann’s strong voice have resurfaced. Alvin Shuster grew up hearing stories about his grandfather Louis Mann — about how he educated himself and learned to speak English, about his work for the Yakama Nation, interpreting for its chiefs in Olympia and Washington D.C.

The Sounders are sending their full squad down to Honduras next month for their CONCACAF Champions League opener against Olimpia. That's in contrast to two years ago, when they split their squad and sent several youngsters to El Salvador ahead of a stunning tournament-opening loss to Santa Tecla FC.

The Sounders' Shane O’Neill said being on a championship-caliber team is more important to him than playing time. The new signee might get both of those things, given Seattle's hole at center back.
