VISTA, Calif. (AP) -- A Native American tribe in San Diego County is suing to stop construction of a road it says will run through an ancient burial ground. The North County Times (http://bit.ly/vZMhJL ) says the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians sued the county and Pardee Homes last week. They want to stop Horse Ranch Creek Road, which is in the grading stage and will serve four housing developments. Tribal remains were found at the road site last year and removed in compliance with state law but the tribe says 19 other sites containing remains and artifacts have been found in Fallbrook. They want the grading halted and the road realigned. The county says the remains can be dealt with and doesn't require permanently halting work in the area.
