Tribal Journey

by Gary Robinson

Overview

After an accident leaves one of Jason's legs paralyzed, he begins a journey to find his heritage and becomes a key participant in his Native Duwamish Indian tradition—the Tribal Journey by canoe from his home in Seattle to the Cowichan tribe in Canada. Jason was never interested in his Native American roots until after the car accident left him disabled. At first depressed, he finds purpose initially through learning to help carve a canoe. Later he is invited to help "pull" on the canoe trip through Puget Sound and up to Canada—a two-week journey that changes his life.
