The tribe's scouts had returned with good news. Up in the hills they had discovered a treasure trove of raw materials. Everything the Tacoma tribe would need to rebuild the machines of the old ones. The treasure site also contained a source of methane gas that could be used for power.
The only problem was that the treasure lay in a disputed area that was claimed by the Tacoma tribe and the Auburn tribe.
The Chief of the Tacoma tribe personally led his small army to claim the treasure for his people. A spy informed the chief of the Auburn tribe of what was happening and the army of the Auburn's also marched to the treasure site.
With crude weapons, the two armies clashed violently. Dozens of men were killed or wounded, but the more powerful Auburn army prevailed and claimed the treasure for its tribe.
The flag- bearer of the Auburn tribe searched for a good place to put his people's banner. He finally settled on a spot not far from an old sign.
The old sign was rusted and faded but the flag- bearer could still make out the words: "Municipal Landfill."
