On May 8, 2011 the Hydaburg Cooperative Association of Alaska entered into a Memorandum of Agreement between the Tribe, and Department of Homeland Security and Customs Border Protection regarding the acceptance of a Hydaburg Cooperative Association Tribal Card for border crossing purposes meeting the Federal Mandate of the Western Hemiphere Travel Initiative known as "WHTI".
The Hydaburg Cooperative Association has outsourced with the Pascuea Yaqui Tribe of Arizona the production of Hydaburg's Enhanced Tribal Card, and is proud to announce that we can offer a "WHTI" compliant border crossing document "ETC" to our qualifying tribal membners. With the full support of our Tribal Leadership, we remain committed to working with the United States to ensure that our rights are protected and impacts to our families religion and culture are avoided while facilitating our travels and ensuring our Nations security.
The tragic aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks required thoughtful and immediate improvements to the United States boarder security. WHTI implements a Congressional requirement, that all United States citizens and other travelers entering the US from within the Western Hemisphere present a passport or other accepted document(s) that establish the bearer's identity and citizenship to enter or re-enter the US. The goal is to strengthen border security; and the standardize travel documents while facilitating entry into the United States for US citizens and legitimate international travelers.
The WHTI requirements for land and sea boarder crossings from the Western Hemisphere are set out in the land and sea WHTI Final Rule published on April 2, 2008, and available at 73 Fed. Reg. 18,384.
As of June 1, 2009, when US citizens and/or Canadian citizens enter the United States from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda by land and sea (including ferries), they will be required to present a valid US Passport or other document designated by the Secretary of Homeland Security, which is Hydaburg's Enhanced Tribal Card.
