The Tribal Canoe Journey is an annual event that celebrates the thriving canoe culture among Native communities along the Pacific Northwest Coast. Each year, a different nation hosts the event and thousands of people make the journey from their home to the host nation by way of ocean canoe. The Makah Nation, located at Neah Bay on the Olympic Peninsula, is hosting the 2010 Canoe Journey.
The Canoe Journey is used as a metaphor in a community-based participatory research project involving ADAI and several Tribal Communities in the Puget Sound region; the Healing of the Canoe project is in it's fifth year of funding.
