The journey as it is known is the spiritual work Native peoples use to transform painful experiences into meaning and purpose.  It takes courage to show up for one’s life and respect.

Since 1989 the NW Coastal Indians have participated in a Canoe Journey to villages on the ancestral highways of the Salish Sea. The commitment to be a part of this means joining a canoe family that excludes members from alcohol or drug use. This is a spiritual commitment and people who are in recovery are urged to join as it brings healing to themselves, their family, and the tribe.
