LUMMI NATION, Wash. -- Two Lummi Nation members have been sentenced to prison for stabbing another tribal member to death.
25-year-old Johnathan Phair and 22-year-old Dezi-Rey Louie were sentenced to five and four years in prison respectively and three years of supervised release.

Phair then stabbed James multiple times with a butcher knife.
