	8 Native Americans Sue State for Abuse at Schools KXLY November 22, 2011 http://www.kxly.com/news/29836781/detail.html Eight Native Americans have filed suit against the Washington Department of Social and Health Services, claiming the agency placed them in a mission school where they were sexually abused by a Jesuit priest decades ago. Attorney Blaine Tamaki said in a statement Tuesday that the plaintiffs were wards of the state when it failed to ensure their safety. The complaint centers on allegations against the Rev. John Morse at St. Mary's Mission School in Omak. Morse has been the subject of dozens of abuse claims but has denied the allegations. In March, the Oregon Province of the Society of Jesus agreed to pay $166 million to hundreds of Native Americans and Alaskan Natives who were abused at its schools in the Pacific Northwest.
