Canoe Journey Participants Traveling With Minors (anyone under age 18)
For those traveling with minors, if you are the custodial parent you only need the birth certificate or tribal ID card. If you are not the custodial parent (other relative/friend), you must have a signed, notarized statement from the custodial parent giving temporary custody for the designated period away with permission to provide medical treatment. The permission to provide medical treatment is VERY IMPORTANT.
This important information was posted as a comment to one of the pages on this site, but it rates better exposure for the readers, and all Tribal Journey participants. The info has also been added to the BORDER CROSSING page as well as the Ferry Info page.
Thank you Linda for providing this information

We are trying a new look for Tribal Journeys Info site.
Plus we added a PHOTO GALLERY. Are these familiar sights to you?
Hope it will be easier to find things and to view the content on the new look page.
During this process of site-morphing we may change the appearance a few times to find just the right one, so please bear with us during the transitional stages.
